Tips to improve your negotiation skills 🤝
Negotiation skills can improve deal-making, conflict resolution, and relationship-building.
Here are some tips to improve your negotiation skills:
🔹Listen more than you talk
Good negotiators are like psychologists: ask the questions and then keep silent to hear all that they can.
🔹 Ask open-ended questions
To make a back-and-forth dialogue work for you, ask open-ended questions that make the other party cede valuable information.
🔹 Clearly communicate your needs and desired outcome
Don’t be afraid to explain your needs and what you’d like to see occur as an outcome, but do so calmly and in a non-confrontational tone of voice.
🔹Stay calm and avoid getting emotional
The more emotional you become, the more clouded your thinking will be.
🔹 Understand the other person's perspective
Try to understand where the other person is coming from; try asking them to tell you about their needs and key concerns.
Improving your negotiation skills can have a significant impact on your success as a dealmaker and leader🔥
