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
