Successful negotiation

• Ask yourself questions like what you want and why it matters to you. It is essential that you get to the root of the matter to be able to solve it or reach the desired result of the negotiation process, so put yourself five questions starting with that, and remember that although you do not have to know everything , But you must understand and know what others want and what they want.

• Be confident, calm, calm, and curious: Negotiation stimulates feelings strongly in a person, feelings may prevent others from being objective, and may also make human judgment and logic absent, so keep calm at all times and remember to use the positive tone , And feeding curiosity will help you stay relaxed during the negotiation process, focus on the important things, and maintain the stability of your feelings.
  

• Find a solution to satisfy all parties: In some cases of negotiation requires winning one of the negotiating parties to lose the other party, for example you may negotiate with your salary manager, the manager will be forced to pay the lowest salary possible, and you want to vice versa, in this case may be getting a salary less than you want It's a good thing. You can ask for leave, your manager will let your business hours and so on, and you'll find a solution that satisfies both parties.

• I hope for the best: know what success is for you on the subject of negotiation before you go to the negotiating table, that is, what you aspire to get out of the negotiating process.

• Think of the alternatives: select your main goal, put a better alternative to this goal, it is important to think about the alternatives because the negotiation process may not be in your favor. For example, if you want to buy a car think two types of cars to be one better than the other and of course will be the best car And you will not be able to buy them unless you negotiate their price, and if you fail to do so you can buy the other car any alternative.
  

• Select your criterion: Your goal should be your main goal, and the alternative is within your criteria. If the other party offers something less than your alternative criterion, which is often within your minimum, you must reject the offer. Define the other party's standard: by knowing what the other party wants and by knowing the best alternatives. Here you have to teach the other party that you understand what he wants, why he wants it, and that you see him as a legitimate right.

• Reach an agreement: Compare your criteria and the standards of the other party, where you meet these criteria and then you will find the appropriate agreement.
