348. Negotiating tips and tricks | Nikki of Violet Pineapple Balloons

“So many things to negotiate”

If you struggle with negotiating, or even the idea of negotiating, this episode is for you! Nikki of Violet Pineapple Balloons comes on the show to share some really helpful tips about negotiation, specifically for a rental space. 

We’ll hear about what she was looking for in a space, the listing price, what she’s actually paying for it and all the things to think about as part of your negotiation. I was also curious about her lease length and the strategy she shared to negotiate that was brilliant!

Nikki is going to give you a whole new way to think about not just negotiation but also leasing in general. She now has an opportunity to move into a larger space so we get to hear about her active negotiation and willpower to wait for what she wants.

This conversation really opened my eyes to some negotiating strategies I didn’t know existed. Thanks to Nikki for sharing!

In the UGlu Hotline, hear how I’m using pants hangers for my favorite organizational upgrade of the past few years - something I picked up from Bri of Elevated Impressions.
