Tips / / December 19, 2019
I am sure that you have repeatedly tried to negotiate with others. Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes you have to settle for the wrong conditions. More often than not, win or lose depends on you and how you behaved. We will talk about some tips to help you win more often in negotiations on any topic.
When I think about this topic, I was immediately reminded of my attempts to negotiate with the teachers in the evaluation University. Do you like walking through a minefield: One wrong phrase, and you have no chance. A little thought and search for other people's opinions on the Internet, I have identified a few tips that have helped me and will help you successfully negotiate with other people.
Offers several options
When you insist on his own, remember about the other person, which is the same as you, defends his point of view. Do not attempt to defeat him, offering only one option. Instead, offer a few. What for? After giving him a few options to choose from (each of which is beneficial to you), you will create an illusion of choice, and your
interlocutor it will be easier to support you.At the same time it is not necessary to go to far. Offering 10 options to choose from, you will destroy yourself. We like simple things and choose the person much easier if he has two or three options, not a dozen.
unnecessary bluff
It will be easier to convince the person that they are right, if you really believe in what you say. This implies the following: do not bluff. You may be lucky, and the caller will not notice the deception, but if all goes according to plan and you ulichat, way back will be gone.
If you believe in their case, to convince the others will be much easier.
You can not win alone
The outcome of the situation should be beneficial for both sides. Imagine yourself in the place of another person and think you would agree that you have to offer? If not, it is unlikely that you should expect the same from him. You need a win-win situation that will satisfy both sides, and not someone one.
Another tip that I can not recommend - make it appear that the outcome is beneficial not only to you. Put simply - deceive person. You are ready to go for it? Then you have one additional ace in the hole.
Forget about emotions
People, including emotions in the talks are doomed to failure. Although the situation can be viewed from several sides. If you're talking about his position with admiration and with fire in his eyes, then it can work.
If you yell at him, laugh at his position or try to insult him, even covertly - you've already lost.
Ask for a little more than you need
This is a fairly simple trick, and you probably know about it. If you want to sell a product for $ 100, ask for it $ 110. When a buyer wants to lower the price, it just lead it to the number you want.
I am sure that in your life more than once have been a situation where you managed to agree with the other person on their own terms. What are your ways!
