How to Negotiate Effectively
You may be thinking, "Gary, I am a mom, housewife, or stay-at-home dad, so why do I need to know how to negotiate effectively?" I'm glad you asked. The truth is everyone needs to negotiate. Surprisingly, almost everything we do the moment we get up in the morning until we go to bed involves some type of "negotiating". I know, you are saying that I have lost my mind, but no, seriously, we do negotiate -continuously. Let's say, you are 18 years old, live with your parents, yet work. So, you wake up at 6 am, and begin a negotiation with your younger brother, who is already in the very bathroom that you need in order to take a shower and get ready for work. To avoid arriving late to work, you quickly offer to pay $5.00 to him to leave the bathroom immediately so that you can take a shower. Next, you head into the kitchen to negotiate with your mother over your preference for orange juice and toast for breakfast, while she is counter-negotiating a complete meal of oatmeal, eggs, milk, and sausage. Who wins this negotiation is anyone's guess. The point is that all of us constantly negotiate. For example, we negotiate - or should -- with our car mechanic to lessen the cost of maintenance and repairs. Soooo ?. to help you succeed in your negotiations, I have prepared this special article that will outline the tools and knowledge you need to succeed. First, you need to know "what is a negotiation." Simply put, it is the exchange of ideas with the intention of changing relationships, agreements, or viewpoints. Negotiation requires ? 1. Calmness Remember that negotiation requires that you give something of perceived value in order to receive something of value. Negotiation may be giving up something today for a later advantage. Here is a short list of non-aggressive negotiation strategies: Know what you want Know what the other side wants Note the "feelings" of your opponent Verbally accept the opponent's viewpoint Give your opinion and ask for opponent's opinion Give positive comments and ask for positive comments Respect differences of opinion Verbally express "how" the two sides are similar Strive to reach "mutual" benefits Build a strong relationship for future negotiations Be sure to note ? ?the tone of your voice. ?how you pronounce your words. ?your own body language. ?your opponent's body language. Finally, remember that you should always keep the relationship positive so that you can return and negotiate another day. Copyright 2005 - Gary E.
