Five Secrets for Successful Negotiation

Prepare yourself with facts

There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation - veneer isn't worth anything.

George Washington Carver

Decide what you want to achieve

before you begin.Never bring the problem solving stage into the

decision making stage. Otherwise, you surrender yourself to the problem rather than the solution.

Robert H. Schuller

Always search for the "win-win"

scenario.Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence

wins championships.Michael Jordan

Treat the other person fairly

Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it

that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than

they already have.Rene Descartes

Get a decision.When you look at a deal and its structure looks like

an octopus or a spider, just don’t do itTimothy Sloan
