In work, you often have to negotiate with other people. Maybe
though, you have never been taught the proper principles of negotiation.
Negotiation is defined as: “The process of
gaining an agreement where all parties can arrive at a mutually
beneficial and sustainable solution. It is a transaction where both
have a veto over the final outcome. It requires voluntary consent on all
sides.”
This course covers:
1. Be clear about what you want. Write it down.
Know too, what you do not want. Knowing what you want is the critical
step. Be specific. Know why you want it.
2. In negotiations, don’t just agree to the first proposal.
Saying “yes” to their first offer may leave you open to
Lose/Win solution.
3. Maintain your principles. Honesty in all your
dealing is the first principle. The second principle here is trade.
You are not there to give your stuff away. Something for something.
Not something for nothing.
4. Once agreed, stick to the agreement. If the
other person wants to change the package, the terms must change too.
Use the magic phrase, “Yes. But only if……” Ensure you have a list of
your negotiable variables.
5. Watch for bargaining activity just before a deadline.
Deadlines can produce extra leverage, which can be used to gain
an extra concession. So be emotionally prepared to use this fact, or
resist it.
6. Avoid trying to “drive a hard bargain” by unnecessarily
tough talk. It may be seen as intransigence by the other
side. Take a tough position but keep your style professional and
relaxed. “Tough talk” in the sense of needless over-assertiveness is
bad for business.
7. Always record the details of each negotiation in writing.
In case of a later dispute, what you write down may one day be useful
information.
8. Always maintain respect for the other person’s identity as
you question his proposition.
9 Think Win /Win. If it is to be sustainable,
then there has to be genuine value in the solution for both parties,
The basis of win/win is rational, tough, fair-trading.
10. Keep an eye on your emotional state. Stay
relaxed and focused.
