Virgin negotiators demonstrate four common behaviours which contribute to their losing out in negotiations. 2. Successful negotiators, on the other hand, have secret strategies which enable them to win at negotiating. 3. You can project power and authority with your body and voice tone, and stop the other side taking advantage of you. 4. It’s rarely “just the price” – how can you avoid having to discount yours under pressure? 5. You should never sit down for a negotiation without a “letter in your back pocket.” 6. Even inexperienced negotiators can come out on top, as a very recent discovery about the psychological state of brilliant negotiators shows. 7. Giving the other side a big pile of facts about your proposition will actually help them negotiate against you. 8. Giving the other side a false deadline (without ever giving away your real one) will put you in a position of power. 9. Chatty questions are 10 times more persuasive than factual statements. 10. Phrases like “to be honest with you” will undo all your good work and wreck your negotiating strength.

Negotiating Skills by Jim Berry Pdf

Negotiation is a practice that not everyone approves of it. There are those who hate it because they think it is too confrontation or simply they don't want to be bothered. This book will show you how negotiations in everyday transactions do not necessarily have to be confrontational, instead they can be fun. Becoming a master negotiator therefore requires that you develop certain qualities such as problem solving abilities, confidence and the flexibility to change tactic during the negotiation process. Practice always makes perfect and the more time and resources you put into the negotiation planning, the higher the chances that you will succeed and get what you want. Remember that you are not the only one on the negotiation table but rather a party to a wide range of interests and perspectives. Try to accommodate the views and concerns of the other people by listening carefully to what they are saying. Do not try to win every argument because this can make you look aggressive and rude from the perspective of your opponent. On the contrary, strive to make your argument reasonable and fair across the board. The guidelines illustrated in this book will teach you a new way of dealing with people regardless of how difficult or insensitive they are. You will become a better negotiator in both the simple and complex day-to-day negotiations that many people fear. In a negotiation process, every person is significant and there is no ultimate decision maker. Do not dictate what needs to be done and the perspective to be followed. Instead, win people over to your side through the simple tactic of communication skills. Be open to positive criticism and do not take anything personal. Being calm and composed will position you at a vantage point to win any negotiation.

Negotiating for Success: Essential Strategies and Skills by George J. Siedel Pdf

We all negotiate on a daily basis. We negotiate with our spouses, children, parents, and friends. We negotiate when we rent an apartment, buy a car, purchase a house, and apply for a job. Your ability to negotiate might even be the most important factor in your career advancement. Negotiation is also the key to business success. No organization can survive without contracts that produce profits. At a strategic level, businesses are concerned with value creation and achieving competitive advantage. But the success of high-level business strategies depends on contracts made with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Contracting capability—the ability to negotiate and perform successful contracts—is the most important function in any organization. This book is designed to help you achieve success in your personal negotiations and in your business transactions. The book is unique in two ways. First, the book not only covers negotiation concepts, but also provides practical actions you can take in future negotiations. This includes a Negotiation Planning Checklist and a completed example of the checklist for your use in future negotiations. The book also includes (1) a tool you can use to assess your negotiation style; (2) examples of “decision trees,” which are useful in calculating your alternatives if your negotiation is unsuccessful; (3) a three-part strategy for increasing your power during negotiations; (4) a practical plan for analyzing your negotiations based on your reservation price, stretch goal, most-likely target, and zone of potential agreement; (5) clear guidelines on ethical standards that apply to negotiations; (6) factors to consider when deciding whether you should negotiate through an agent; (7) psychological tools you can use in negotiations—and traps to avoid when the other side uses them; (8) key elements of contract law that arise during negotiations; and (9) a checklist of factors to use when you evaluate your performance as a negotiator. Second, the book is unique in its holistic approach to the negotiation process. Other books often focus narrowly either on negotiation or on contract law. Furthermore, the books on negotiation tend to focus on what happens at the bargaining table without addressing the performance of an agreement. These books make the mistaken assumption that success is determined by evaluating the negotiation rather than evaluating performance of the agreement. Similarly, the books on contract law tend to focus on the legal requirements for a contract to be valid, thus giving short shrift to the negotiation process that precedes the contract and to the performance that follows. In the real world, the contracting process is not divided into independent phases. What happens during a negotiation has a profound impact on the contract and on the performance that follows. The contract’s legal content should reflect the realities of what happened at the bargaining table and the performance that is to follow. This book, in contrast to others, covers the entire negotiation process in chronological order beginning with your decision to negotiate and continuing through the evaluation of your performance as a negotiator. A business executive in one of the negotiation seminars the author teaches as a University of Michigan professor summarized negotiation as follows: “Life is negotiation!” No one ever stated it better. As a mother with young children and as a company leader, the executive realized that negotiations are pervasive in our personal and business lives. With its emphasis on practical action, and with its chronological, holistic approach, this book provides a roadmap you can use when navigating through your life as a negotiator.

Gain the Edge! by Martin Latz Pdf

"Martin Latz's Gain the Edge! is the best book I've ever read on negotiation strategy. If you negotiate for a living or only occasionally, Latz gives you the tools and tactics to succeed before you sit down at the table. Whether it's negotiating Randy Johnson's contract or the purchase of your next car, Gain the Edge! is clear, concise, and unfailingly useful." --Jerry Colangelo, Chairman and CEO, Arizona Diamondbacks and Phoenix Suns There's always more to learn about negotiation. That one new strategy or tactic you gain from this book may make the difference between your walking away a winner and leaving empty-handed. The margin of difference can be infinitesimal, yet the ramifications are often huge. Negotiating a new salary? Buying a car or a house? Closing a deal with a big client? Discussing where to vacation with your spouse? We negotiate every day. Yet most of us negotiate instinctively and don't give the process the strategic attention it deserves. We suffer as a result. Now negotiation expert Martin E. Latz reveals an easy-to-use strategic template you can use in every negotiation. This is not ivory-tower advice, or advice just based on instincts and experience: The tactics and techniques here come from the most up-to-date research and the knowledge Latz has developed in negotiating on the White House Advance Teams, from consulting with top executives at Fortune 500 companies and law firms nationwide, and from teaching thousands of business professionals and lawyers how to negotiate more effectively. The result is a comprehensive guide that takes you all the way from general strategies and principles--Latz's Five Golden Rules of Negotiation--to specific tips, techniques, and even phrases you can use at the table. Gain the Edge! will arm you with: * Practical strategies to get the information you need before you sit down at the table * Tactics to maximize your leverage when seemingly powerless * Secrets to success in emotionally charged negotiations * A step-by-step system to design the most effective offer-concession strategy * Ways to deal with different personality types, ethics, and negotiation "games" * Specific advice on how to negotiate for your next salary, car, or house * Negotiating tips for other business and personal matters Leave behind instinctive negotiating and its inherent uncertainties. Learn to negotiate strategically. Easy to understand and instantly applicable to real-life situations, Gain the Edge! is the ultimate how-to guide for anyone looking to master this critical subject.

Negotiation Basics by Ralph A. Johnson Pdf

"It is a very practical book aiming to describe various ways of negotiating. . . . The author's use of a conversational style makes for easy reading. . . . A useful and light book which serves as an introduction to the area." --Counselling at Work "Although the book's format makes it of particular interest to teachers thinking about a possible text to assign for a semester-length general course in negotiation, the average reader may also enjoy this blend of theoretical and practical perspectives." --Negotiation Journal How does negotiation work? What are the options and procedures for a thorough negotiation? What problems and deficiencies does one encounter in negotiation? How can skill-building be integrated for a successful negotiation? To answer these and other questions, Negotiation Basics presents both theoretical and practical perspectives that enable readers to develop the skills necessary for individual and group negotiating situations. Utilizing a unique theory-into-practice technique, each chapter introduces and discusses an essential negotiating concept--concepts that connect to a related skill, and integrates exercises throughout the chapters. Thus, each chapter provides readers with the opportunity to practice the newly acquired skills. Topics examined include steps necessary for goal building, role of information in negotiations, hidden and incidental "costs," popular strategies, role of the agent, and reasons why negotiations fail. This unique and illuminating volume is a welcome addition for business and management courses, service organizations, labor studies programs, education and communication departments, and conflict resolution programs.
