Assertiveness skills 15.10.11
Follow-up to My First Action Plan from Jo's blog
Saturday 15th October
Today I have been putting my skills into practise in terms of being assertive. Today's task was to buy a computer that is suitable for all my needs and maybe getting it a little cheaper than expected. Well, having done lots of talking to sales staff in 4 different shops, i made the decision as to which computer would be best and using my assertiveness skills i launched into the big question of discount and any freebies as i would be spending a large amount of money in store. I must of been quite persuasive, because having asked to speak to the manager i did manage to get the computer with some discount as well as some free software thrown in. I'm very happy with that result, and am now off to play with my new technology!
