One of the biggest monthly expense for a US household is the cost of cable bill. Most subscribers never think of negotiating their fees down they just pay what the bill says. After all we all assume the small guy has no chance against a corporate giant!
As I was reading across the internet I came across two subscribers of Comcast who explained how they managed to cut their comcast bills. Guy No 1 cut his Comcast bill by 33%. Guy No. 2 cut his Comcast bill by by 44%. All done without losing their service.
The two guys posted a detailed chat transcript with Comcast customer representatives on their blogs. The transcripts gave an insight on how to negotiate for lower cable fees.
This is what learnt from the two guys On How to Negotiate for Lower Comcast Bill
1. Negotiate one on one, don’t send an email, call the company directly or use a live chat.
2. Make it clear from the start that you want a lower cable bill.
3. During the conversation mention the rates of competitors.
4. Be nice, dont threaten to live directly, mentioning the rates of competitors is enough to keep them on notice.
5. Know the promotions that are being run for new and exisiting customers. Their is a chance they could be running a promotion and you are not aware.
The beauty of negotiating for lower monthly cable bills is that the money saved can be used to boost your savings which means more money available for investing.
