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!
