SNEAK THE EDUCATION IN

During these times of tight
budgets. It is hard to
convince the boss to pay for
a class or conference. When
being quoted for a new
system ask the vendor to
toss in some education
classes into the price of
the quote.

There are 2 benefits to this:

1) Education in most
IT organizations comes out of
a different budget so you
are saving the company money
since that you don't need to
use the funds from that pool
of money.

2) If you need to negotiate
the price of the quote or tell
the vendor you are taking it
to bid against a competitor;
educational classes are like
dessert at a restaurant. They
sometimes can toss it in for
free to keep your business.

But either way, the goal is
to get the classes on the
quote!
