    Business negotiation

    While experienced negotiators sometimes refer to their methods as the ‘negotiating game’, for start-up companies it is not a game at all – it’s more a matter of life and death in a business world. Learning how to negotiate effectively is possible by experience only. But for me, director of a...

    what do I need: customer pays online, but not to my business?...

    OK, I wasn't clear then :) The business is just an example - to explain what I mean! I need 'safe website' - ? online payment gateway ? plug-in ?whatever it's called - for my customers to pay by card online. So like in every online shop!
