Two years ago when I was renewing my home insurance, I happened to have a particularly helpful guy on the other end of the phone. Sure he was trying to close a sale but I can usually tell the real ones from the fake ones.

Anyway, by chance I happened to be renewing on Friday afternoon, little did I know, this was the reason I was able to haggle my way to a great low price.
When our transaction was complete the salesman told me that all of the sales staff in his company have weekly sales targets and quotas so if they are failing to reach them come Friday afternoon, they give out great quotes to customers in order to close the sale before close of business.
