Top 5 Negotiation Tips
4. Take your time
Many a times, people get impatient during a session and they lose a half-won battle. Do not forget, you are here to negotiate and find a solution. You can’t afford to lose your chance. Often, negotiation is the last chance and once lost, many have to pay for it later. So, it’s better to keep your patience. Take your time to establish your point. Let the other person think over it and decide. Ultimately, your aim is not to win over this person but to get your benefit to your side.
5. Don’t reveal your pressure
During a session of negotiation, it is extremely important to keep your calm. Whatever be the case, you must not reveal the pressure that lies at your end. Once you show them that you have a problem at your end, they may take advantage. On the contrary, you should focus on their pressure. Trace its root and then exploit the situation to your advantage.
In today’s world, every person is dependent on everyone else. Hence, it is very important to fulfill one’s needs without hurting the other. Who knows, you may need the other person at a later point in time. So, it is best to negotiate with that person, fulfill your need and establish a cordial relationship with that person; be it your boss, your co-worker, your car dealer or anyone else.
