  • Never appear keen to do the deal

  • Here are some pointers to improve your Negotiating Skills
1. People like people who are like themselves
2. They make this decision within 30 seconds therefore make this rapport immediately by portraying a naturally friendly greeting
3. Be dressed appropriately; be totally interested and concerned about their situation
4. Mirror the client in the way you sit, listen and ask questions
5. Nod head in agreement
6. Match your breathing to theirs, your way of speaking, etc.
7. Listen more than speaking, do not butt in
8. Let them think that you have a solution for them
9. Put yourself in the other persons shoes. Remember their emotions may be running high, agitated, confused, etc.
10. Rapport is established and kettle on

 

9. Beware of Negotiating Tactics used on you

  • Be aware of common ones used e.g. deadline referral or another person
  • Do not be rushed by any of these
  • Make a note of each one to make it clear that it has been understood

 

10. Draw up a Contract.

  • When negotiation is completed get agreement down on paper
  • Get it signed by both parties
  • It will not be legally binding but it will focus both parties on what has been agreed
