My husband is a pro at this. It all comes down to selling something they value. I guess the real trick is to get what you want from your customer while making them think they are really the winners!

I have been known as a fighter for too long. I lost too many fights... Not any more. Now I am mastering my arguing skills ;) Mike, Thank you. Getting defensive turned out as one of the most limiting factors in problem solving. I realized it only recently. Better later than never, eh? ;) Melissa,

Its easy to come across as fighting if I'm convinced I'm right and it's tough to ensure both side of an argument can actually be listened to and discussed by both parties. Getting defensive, shutting down or having an aggressive attack don't work in a discussion. Theya re fighting actions and quite natural really.
