Add You - Negotiation-Dealing With Price And The Closing Stages
Failures in project management systems can be superficially explained by anything from a lack of project detail to managerial conflicts. However, this failure often has deeper roots. Until we begin to recognize this uncontrollable factor it will be difficult to master the implementation of any management system. This factor is known as the “Chaos Theory” or simply “chaos”. Chaos Theory could be considered a
Be wary of "splitting the difference": If you offer to split the difference, you have, in effect, given the other side a concession that is one-sided. You have said you are prepared to move without asking for commitment in return.
The final consideration is when you have done the deal and both parties are in agreement. Record the details and agree with
Getting from one level to the next in your career can be a tough climb. In all my years as a recruiter, I found that the number one reason professionals fail to advance is that they don't realize their worth -- or how to capitalize on it.Most professionals undersell, understate and/or outright don't take stock of their skills and accomplishments. So, how do you brand yourself for career a
Price is an issue in most negotiations. We need to deal with the price issue confidently, but with an understanding of the needs of the other side. Here are some notes to help you:
• Be specific. State the exact price rather than ....well, it will be about ?5,000.
• Maintain eye contact. It makes you look confident.
• Ensure the tone of your voice is confident and your body language is also confident and relaxed.
• Use silence. Once you have stated your price, stop talking and wait for the other side to speak. Give them time to think.
• Deal with price objections and defend your price, but don’t over argue your case.
• Close down your body language.
• Focus on price and benefit differences.
• Begin the bargaining phase.
The Closing Stages:
The closing stages of any negotiation are vital to the overall success of the final deal. There will come a time when both parties can sense an outcome is possible, and each negotiator needs to be careful not to be too eager to close or else the other party will be tempted to hold back for further concessions.
Once a likely outcome is seen, either party may define outstanding issues, compare arguments and objections, review the position to date and agree a deadline for agreement. If one side avoids making these decisions, the other must probe to find out the reason and deal with it effectively. Negotiators must be careful at this stage to identify tactical delay which deliberately attempts to force further concessions.
The best solution to aim for always, is one where both parties feel they have done well despite having to concede on certain issues. This is called a “win-win” solution. Once either side feels they have arrived at the final deal, it is important to signal this to the other party.
Body language can say as much about what you are thinking as speech. If you have made your final offer, look as if it is your final offer. Simply gathering up your papers, looking at the other side directly in the eye and saying “That is my final offer”, can do this, and silence can be a powerful tool in convincing them you mean what you say.

For those who are fluent in another language, foreign language (ie non-English) proof reading can be a great source of income. It is a difficult area for those who are not fluent to get into though. That is because, in order to be a proofreader, you must be able to do several things. It is not just spelling errors that the proofreader needs to fix. There are many other things that they need to do. It is

Meetings...meetings...meetings...I often wonder if anyone out there dislikes meetings as much as I do. Do you have to participate in mindless meeting after mindless meeting in which some of the participants actually seem to believe that they are accomplishing something productive by endlessly talking?It's as if no one in an organization is capable of making any decision these days without having a ser

The final consideration is when you have done the deal and both parties are in agreement. Record the details and agree with the other parties involved that your interpretation of events matches theirs. That way there will be no unexpected comeback in the inevitable post-negotiation period when either side reviews how well or badly he has done. Again, this will be minimised if the solution you have arrived at benefits both parties.
A Final Word Of Caution:
The closing stages need to be approached with caution. It has been shown that the majority of concessions are given or traded in the last 5% of the time allocated for negotiation. That means if you negotiate for one hour, the last three minutes are when you are most vulnerable.
