Attention newbies: To increase the odds of scoring a goal, have your own prophylactic on hand.
If the product is worth it and they say no, mention what you have in your possession and add an extra pineapple or two (or more) to what you'd otherwise pay. I've often been told "no" straightaway, this is followed by a pause and a stare into the distance, and then a "yes". It's worked many times for me over the years. My rule of thumb is they have to be right up there to get above market rate. Don't over pay for goods that aren't quite there.
(Obviously, you can't be a dick. You'll be your own cock blocker.)
This evening, I put my plan into effect. We got to yes, but my PPE wasn't in my wallet. And consequently, my penalty kick hit the crossbar and score did I not. I'll see her again and be adequately prepared.
Go forth my children and fish...
