    Sun is shining so today I'd recommend the "Friday Express".

    Wait till about 2:30, then go in smiling, gracious and hard. Everyone likes to end the week by closing a deal.

    Do say : "Due to the current economic conditions and the impact on overheads Pogle Enterprises will be looking for a 20% uplift on the previous rate."

    Don't say : "Oi'll doit forrra fiva!"
