All that changed after Franklin asked to borrow a precious book his opponent agreed, and they soon started working together (and actually became staunch friends). One famous example of this was Benjamin Franklin, who, as a young legislator, kept locking horns with a senior colleague.
Either way, the rest of the steps here are dedicated to you wielding wicked powers of psychology and argument to win the person in power over. If it’s them, or there’s simply no chance of you getting closer to that person, then so be it: use the arguments below on your boss. Your boss is your most likely ally: probe him or her to find out when the budgets are submitted and who actually makes the decision. If you ask when sales are faltering, or at the end of the budget year when every penny has already been allocated, your chances of holding the premium laptop we both know you deserve is sunk before you even try. And there goes your chance for another financial year. It’s all very well spending six weeks nagging your boss, but if they send a one-line email to the IT budget holder asking, pretty please, for you to get so-and-so model, it’s far too easy for them to say no. The biggest mistake people make is convincing the wrong person that they need a new laptop.
