Like Chess, Negotiation Skills require a
Strategy
We all negotiate when we want to exchange something with another
party. Negotiation skills are required when you negotiate to buy a car,
ask for a salary increase, decide on a suitable time for an
appointment…etc.

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 buy go and buy the
toy.


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.

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 bargaining skills could be a survival skill for managers. This 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.



Knowing the negotiation strategies is the first step into understating
this critical skill for anyone who needs to improve his skills.


The best way to learn the negotiation skill is to learn by example. Here
is a Salary negotiation example for you.
