Greetings to one and all present here today. I am here before you, to provide you with some tips as to how you can nail a negotiation in your first meeting. Effective negotiation is a core management skill. One should acquire the skill to be creative and successful in a business setting. Negotiation may include breaking a problem or situation into counterparts, considering your deal terms, and coming up with ideas from your side. Negotiation is an art with people to settle differences in business.
To nail a negotiation, you first need to have confidence in your strategies. If your strategy is unclear to you, do not expect others to accept it. You should also be sure about your style of negotiation and stick to it. Know your opposite side and make plans accordingly. Discover and identify your goals beforehand. Know exactly why you want this deal to happen in your favor and work for it.
As in every other business situation, preparing a SWOT analysis will be a good method to weigh your pros and cons. Through SWOT analysis, you will have a clear idea about the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that this negotiation brings to you. With that, you will be able to distinguish between a good and a bad deal.
You need to know your opposite side well enough. Make thorough research and gain as much information as possible, which is quite easy now because of the variety of social platforms that are available now. This will give you a heads-up as to what extent they may go, what are their interests, their walk-off position, etc. Before the negotiation meetings, make a proper structure and list for the points you want to present to your opposite side.
You have to set the negotiation agenda and gain control over the negotiation or the other side will. Make a team of abled individuals and work as a group. Discuss your agendas and policies and make sure everything is transparent to the whole team and that everyone knows about everything. If the teammates are in confusion or disagree, you may lose the upper hand. During the negotiation, the whole team should be confident and have a single stand-on your point.
This may discourage the opposite team from making many counters to your point. During the negotiation, start higher than what you feel you want, and make sure you give your arguments first. Express what you feel with your emotions. If you are satisfied, show them with your smile. If not, let them know through your emotions and expressions. This will let the opposite side know how important this deal is to you.
To influence people, you need to convince them with your knowledge. Once they understand that you have done enough research and know quite well about what you are saying, they may yield easily. Wish you all the best for your future negotiations.
