Lesson in Negotiation for Sabi

A man approached Dhara and asked her permission to teach Sabi about negotiation. After a brief walk, he returned to bargain with Sabi. Although Sabi’s Snug Monster Bookmark was priced at ₹10, the man insisted that it was worth only ₹8. After some haggling, Sabi eventually relented and sold the bookmark for ₹8.

Dear Future Sabi, know the value of your work and time. Stand your ground. If a price doesn’t sit right with you, it’s okay to say no. Most times, the stakes will be more than ₹2. Whether someone is persuasive or pushy, stay firm. Know your worth.
