Preparing to Negotiate


In preparing to negotiate you need to figure out what you want from the negotiations and how flexible you’re willing to be on each of your selling points. Then, for each item, develop an explanation that justifies the position you desire.

Being prepared to make the right concessions—those that cost you little, but give your customer much—is also key to having the actual sales negotiations go smoothly.
