Negative emotions will just make you more vulnerable to sales pressure.

]]> 62733 2 30 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164875/30.jpg Do your homework The best defense is preparation: If you’re looking for something specific, shop around or search for it online so you’ll be able to recognize a real steal.

]]> 62734 3 39 Tip If you do your homework ahead of time, you’ll also know when a “special deal” someone claims to “authorize” is actually a bargain.

]]> 62735 4 48 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164875/48.jpg Never feel obligated Never let a salesperson make you feel obligated to buy something because they’ve let you taste a sample or spent a lot of time waiting on you. The urge to reciprocate is such a strong human response that many sales people consciously try to exploit it.

]]> 62737 6 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164875/72.jpg Don't be fooled Don’t be fooled into thinking that you will never, ever find another item like the one you are wavering on. Making an item seem scarce to increase its perceived value is another persuasion tactic that salespeople use.

]]> 62738 7 88 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164875/88.jpg Keep your head Instead of getting excited when a salesperson keeps reducing a price, ask yourself why the salesperson is so eager to get rid of the product, and why the price was so inflated in the first place.

]]> 62739 8 100 Fact 58 percent of shoppers polled say they receive enormous pressure to buy an extended warranty with home electronics or appliances.
