Talking down prices

ugh, I'm not comfortable with talking DJ's down. Has any one have any fed back. They are already giving us discounts because we are a January wedding but the lighting is the killer. So expensive as well as the Zap photos.

Should I tell them I like them more than other compnaies I have seen.?

No! Then they don't have any reason to give you a good price! Unless they are super nice, I guess.

You should say 'This other place is giving us xyz for 123 price, what can you do for us for your prices?'

I agree. If you tell them you like them more than they will say that you can pay the price they gave you. Don't give them the upper hand.

They want your business! You have to pull out the ***** card when talking to these people. You can be straight up and tell them look I'm only willing to pay this(helps if you mention cash payment. They much rather have cash than cc) If you can't do it at this price then I will go to the 100 other Dj companies on the island. Or start at a crazy crazy low number and start the haggle progress haha. You can do this!! Don't be afraid to walk away. I did that to so many bands/invites/nonsense and I got phone calls from 99% of them a week/month later saying oh yeah we can do a' lower price' or 'sale price' blah blah blah.
