Negotiation Tips

ComicsMailOrder

Having been in business for over 25 years I have seen some excellent negotiators. The way they operate is to work with your concerns and show they understand your position. To these operators, negotiation is both a skill and an art and some have developed it to such a high degree that you could even think it is a science. We all negotiate every day in some way or another so becoming more skilled is something that would beneft us as individuals, and benefit our businesses and organisations. Mostly the outcomes are not earth-shattering but when the negotiation is important follow this advice to reach the best outcome for all parties.

Whenever we want something we almost always enter a negotiation, unless a straightforward purchase in a shop; but even there I know several people who will attempt to negotiate as a matter of principle.

The simplest thing to understand therefore, is that for the negotiation to be successful, both parties need to be involved in the outcome, and both parties need to feel that their interests were not only protected but satisfied.

Before attempting any negotiation, make sure you are up to date and aware of your customer/client/co-negotiator's current needs.

Be prepared to walk away without an agreement if you feel that either party's needs are becoming overlooked.

When you next need to enter a negotiation, check your strategy here first. It just may make all the difference!

Negotiation is an important tool, that all of us use at different times, at different phase of our life, to achieve different goals. The first time probably we negotiated in our life, when as a child we kept shouting for mother's milk. The negotiations are typically tagged with a price, which may or not be expressed in monetary term. For example a marital negotiation has a typical price line of social status, whereas a negotiation in the job interview the price line is clearly money. There can be more than one one price line also, provided there are different areas involved in the negotiation. For example in a union-management negotiation apart form salary, there can be price lines involving working conditions and industrial relations.

To negotiate effectively one must do a proper hoe work on the self strength and weaknesses vis-a-vis the strength and weaknesses of the other side. In the negotiation table, it will all depend upon how one can keep up with the nerve. Thus, it is very important to know the bottom-line of the price where the negotiator can settle. The body language is also extremely important in negotiation. The price may be social recognition, peer recognition and many others. A negotiation may take place either on 1 to 1 or may involve more than two parties.

It all depends on how well one has prepared about the background and strength areas of the other side. It is also important to know the dynamics of the power game. To know more about it click here.
