Don't Be Greedy!

Here are a couple of quotes that illustrate the importance of thinking long-term in your business negotiations:


"One last thing to learn from the negotiations. Don't be greedy. I might have gotten more money, but would it have been worth it? Always remember the straw that broke the camels back." Mark McCormick


"My father said, 'You must never try to make all the money that's in the deal. Let the other fellow make some money too, because if you have the reputation for always making all the money, you won't have many deals." J. Paul Getty
