here are some common mistakes when negotiating.<\/p>\n
\n
- besides avoiding the \u201ci-win-you-lose\u201d approach, avoid using ego or overconfidence because this will give you an inflated view of your position.<\/li>\n
- don\u2019t try to predict what the other party will say and thus create an untenable position for yourself, such as conceding on points that you may think have no importance for yourself but actually with strengthen the other party\u2019s hand.<\/li>\n
- related to the last point is making unrealistic assumptions. think about your preconceived notions and the assumptions the other party might have and run them all through a reality filter to see which ones should be put aside. but it is important to have a clear picture of the position of the other party.<\/li>\n
- do not be inflexible. listen. listen. listen. the other party may raise a discussion point you never considered, which may enhance the quality of the transaction for both sides.<\/li>\n
- last, if you will make a concession, give a reason for your action so the other side does not see you as a weak and try to take more advantage of you in other areas. this will also raise doubt about your credibility in further negotiations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
mental preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n
successful negotiating requires that to do scenario planning with yourself. \u201cif he says this, i should counter with that.\u201d be clear and logical in your position, stay on point and be focused. make sure the questions you ask are relevant.<\/p>\n
this requires you listen carefully<\/em> and completely<\/em>. do not think of more questions as you are listening to an answer. it requires holding two thoughts simultaneously. maybe you can do it, but you are sure to miss nuances.<\/p>\n
you will want to create a framework in your mind as to the possible direction the negotiations will take. you may be facilitating the sale or purchase of a practice, dealing with a vendor or be in some other situation where compromise and consensus is necessary.<\/p>\n
in a slightly different take, when it\u2019s all said and done, if only one side is happy, you have not done your job. on the other hand \u2013 this may sound counterintuitive \u2013 you may have created the right situation if both parties come away feeling less than 100 percent satisfied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
