Flirting helps women succeed in negotiations
Researchers from the University of California Berkley and the London School of Economics have found that women who flirt during negotiations get as much as 20 percent off on cars. In four different experiments that aimed to measure feminine charm, the academics led by Dr. Laura Kray found that the right mix of flirtation and friendliness improved success rates for negotiations by as much as a third. The researchers found that this technique worked when employed to both men and women.
