Those steps are well outlined but it is a psychologial war of wills once you have come into a position of power. Can your deception outwiegh your corruption? If so you will succeed. Temporarily.

Not if the other person shows they knew what you were going to say. The problem is when people are not listening, and they interrupt you to say what they want.

Cold calling sucks and most companies have abandoned this tactic for a reason.\nI did it for about a year when I first got in the business.\nYou're better off having some sort of lead source, but if you must, a good script is the way to go. If cost is the object, at least get some 2 year old - 2 year arm records from your title rep.\nSomething we used to do is pair up. when one of us got an interested person on the phone we would transfer them to the other. This made the second person seem more credible.\nBottom line - if you're on your own, I'd concentrate on a higher percentage source and if you work for a company, I'd look for another.

Actually they're both different transactions. It's all part of a negotiation tactic. One usually tries to get the most value up front, so we try to get two cents out of them. When they feel reluctant to put their two cents in, we can take the next step and make a deal they can't refuse: we'll pay them to tell us their thoughts. But notice that it's not two pennies for your thoughts. That would create a negative cash flow. It's all written off as a marketing expense anyway.

There are crimes committed against a business, such as embezzlement or brand counterfitting.  Also, there are crimes business can commit, such as with Enron, securities fraud.  Business could break environmental laws.  It is a very broad area you question suggests.

I believe that Those business have high egos, and wishing eagerly to take much money out of your pocket, I am also a business owner, but I don't think that the people who comes to my business should have to pay anything extreme. It is not right for business owners to have to lie, those who lie in their business do not have JESUS in their business! That is great of you to not sue the people who sold you that product. I once bought a product like that and it costed me some good money. The bad thing about it is that they did not explain everything to me, nor give me some instruction on how to use it. But oh well, I am going to try what you did, Not Sue the theives.

Well you will always remain in the situation you are in.....struggling to get by....you know why?  Because you spend way too much energy on conjuring up a lie rather than focusing on the truth.  His boss probably isn't a jerk.  People have businesses to run....they need dependable people....not liars!  Grow up, accept responsibility for your irrisponsible behavior.....People do on occassion oversleep....Bosses understand and accept this from honest, loyal and hard workers.  I'm a boss, and have  had some real great workers share this with me and guess what?  I have much more respect for them because they were HONEST with me.  This way, I know they have integrity!

My Father in Law is a very successful real estate broker, and he says "A verbal agreement isn't worth the paper it's printed on".\n\nWhen nothing is in writing, you have very little chance of winning a battle in court.\n\nYes, you can sue anyone for anything, but what's the point if you can't win.  It will cost you a fortune.

There are no ethics involved when you do lie about something. You have also stolen the information. You have destroyed a trust. You have given a competitor an advantage he would not have had and hurt the first company's future business. You have hurt your fellow employees. You may well have ruined your own reputation as well.

Absolutely none, as I am too lazy to start a business. I can think up all sort of ways to make $$$, but never want to follow-through. Good luck!

it wont work because if its a big conspiracy against you - like you think - the courts are not going to support you are they? think about that one.\n\nimagine you own a business and are looking to employ someone. Its not just a paper exercise. Im sorry you did not get that job, but you need to just keep trying. I think you mistaken to think everyone is against you. get feebacks and you might be very surprised why you did not win and also it will help for your next attempt.\n\nforget the race card. race card is for folks losing the game. stand tall and keep your haed up. be a gentleman these qualities will get you progress.

It's a lot like playing poker. Don't show your cards until you are ready to seal the deal. Don't let them know until you are ready to move in for the kill (or steal in this case). Good Luck

I try to...especially when I sense that someone is bored, or unhappy.  I went to this meeting, and the CFO was there, who was my boss.  I saw him starting to fall asleep during this lecture.  And truthfully some execs are the worst ones at presenting because they are all nervous and tense.  So I leaned over to the CFO and said "Geez, Do you think maybe a wicked game of 'pull my finger' would loosen this guys up a bit?"  He tried so hard not to laugh after that. : )
