Article 1: Negotiation Skills: Learn from your kids!
We all need to bargain when we want to exchange something with
another person or entity. Negotiation skills are required when you
negotiate to buy a car, ask for a salary increase, decide on a
suitable time for an appointment, marry, divorce…etc.
Negotiation is a very important skill for our daily social lives and
work. When you do business negotiations, your negotiation
techniques are different to those when you want to get married. If
you are the buyer, your negotiation skills are different from the
seller.
I believe that the best way to learn the best bargaining skills is to
learn from kids!! Have you faced a kid who wants to buy a certain
toy? No matter what excuses you give them, they will find an
alternative solution for you. When you use the terms “I’ll see”, “let’s
discuss it tomorrow”, the kids will come with a very creative
alternative to make you go and buy the toy for them.
You will see later on that if you are a buyer, say buying a house,
you might want to consider a 3rd party to negotiate on your behalf.
If you desperately want the house, you will score a very bad deal
usually because the seller which is represented by a professional
seller (the real-estate agent) will sense you urge to buy the house
and will not budge on the price. Getting a friend to negotiate the
price will ensure that he will represent your interest in the house
moderately. Though, this friend needs to have the required
negotiation skill!
Sometimes we call the above process negotiation, bargaining,
compromise, or simply exchange. One thing for sure in this life is
that everything is negotiable. Don’t be intimated when you walk to
a shop and you see the sign “the price is fixed”. You can negotiate
everything. If the sales man in the showroom is on commission, he
or she will negotiate.
The negotiation skill is a survival skill for managers. Negotiating skill
helps the manager with his team building efforts, finding the right
resources, negotiating a better deal for this team, and negotiating
salaries, just to name a few.
