quicky Internet Negotiation

Yesterday, I found some minor errors on a great website yesterday. I quickly emailed the “contact us” link and detailed how to improve. Then, I asked for an account upgrade, which I was granted.

 

Lessons: 1) Don’t give anything away without asking for something in return. 2) Trade 1s (easy email) for 10s (account access) 3) Don’t be afraid to ask. The worst you can get is a “No.” 4) Ask for more than you expect to receive  

 

Notice how I earned respect by being cheeky. I suspect I also earned respect for my well cited, easy to read email. 

 

Today, I’ll spend all day on the site…. and probably email him some more free Quality Assurance work.
