Successful negotiators have formed the habit of doing those things unsuccessful negotiators dislike doing and will not do.

Negotiation is like an athletic contest; Momentum is paramount!!

Do not make a counter-offer to an unrealistic offer.

Selecting the appropriate negotiation strategy depends on three factors:

1. Timing (the party with the least time pressure wins)

2. Risk (often the most powerful strategies carry the greatest risk)

3. Needs (negotiation and personal) of all parties

When a negotiation stalls…CHANGE something:

· The Location

· The Timetable

· The Specifications

· The Shape of the Money

· The Negotiator or a Team Member

When you make concessions, make them:

Small,

Slowly, and

Progressively Smaller

The strongest counter to the "Good Guy/Bad Guy"

strategy is to point out it's use to the other team.

When all else fails, the "Humble and Helpless" strategy often provides the best outcome.

Don't make the first concession on a major item.

Nothing moves a stalled negotiation like a little appropriate humor!

Rarely accept the first offer. Most negotiators will concede something!

Look for things to concede that have low value to you but high value to the other party...

Look for things to ask for that have high value to you but low value to the other party.

Great negotiators always find a way to help the other party "save face."

FEELINGS are FACTS!

Treat them accordingly.

Then move on with the negotiation.

Negotiations Power Question;

"Do I know everything I should in this matter?"

FORBEARANCE is one of the strongest negotiation strategies.

The party with no deadlines has a tremendous advantage.

Great negotiators know when to call in "the expert."

Do not underestimate the power of SILENCE in a negotiation.

Silence is a great tool of the skilled negotiator.

When the relationship is very strong, details rarely get in the way.

Give yourself room to make concessions...

Opening offers (or positions) are a very decision in negotiating.

One of the best answers to a question in a negotiation is to ask a question:

Why do you ask?

How would you like me to answer that?

I don't understand?

HUH?

Ask to have an offer repeated. Often it will change for the better.

When asked for a concession ask,

"In addition to that is there anything else that we need to discuss before we…?

Knowing the counters to every strategy is as important as knowing the strategy itself-

You may not use every strategy in a given year,

but I can assure you that every strategy will be used on you.

Rarely issue an ultimatum…it backs either you or the other party into a difficult corner.

Do not assume you know what the other party wants for a concession-ASK!

More is given away in most negotiations than need be.

Good team negotiators assign different people different tasks based on the individual strengths of the team members.

In a negotiation, never assume "their problem" is "their problem….

It may become YOUR problem!

Never offer to split the difference…try to draw that offer out of the other party.

Most negotiations are not "fixed pies."

Great negotiators look for ways to expand the pie, making a better deal for all parties.

Asking to have a question repeated will often change the question.

When negotiating on the phone, use body language to emphasis the message:

· Stand, move, and gesture to bring more power to your voice

· Relax in the most comfortable chair if you want to appear relaxed

· Smile if you want to appear happy

The APPARENT WALKOUT has all the power of the WALKOUT without the risk…

Just make sure your re-entry plan after a walkout is logical and natural. Come back for the right reasons.

When you can't get agreement on the issues, get agreement in principle;

Any agreement builds momentum.

Knowing the other parties needs and wants as well as you know your own.

Rarely respond to a hostile remark with a hostile remark.

Interact with the other party in a negotiation as if the relationship will last forever.

It probably won't, but your relationship and outcome will improve!

At an impasse, sharing otherwise confidential information may help.

Use whatever power you have in a negotiation to build the relationship.

If a negotiation stalls, introduce another issue.

Don't jump to conclusions.

It's a common mistake to think you know what the other party is looking for.

Ask more questions, get more answers…Knowledge is power!

Great negotiators always have something in reserve to sweeten the deal.

When the deal is close, the sweetener can make the difference.

Never enter a negotiation without having determined your

BATNA (best alternative to negotiated agreement).

Know as much about the other parties BATNA (best alternative to negotiated agreement) as you do about your own.

In most negotiations you can get a small item thrown in if you ask for it

at the time you offer to close the deal (THE NIBBLE).

The counter to THE NIBBLE is realizing the small item requested is probably not necessary to close the deal (if it is a true nibble). Hold firm,

negotiate (reduce) the size of the nibble, or counteroffer.

Great negotiators see themselves as great negotiators.

LOWBALLING/HIGHBALLING is the most effective and least effective strategy;

Most effective-when backed up by facts, figures, or logic…

Least effective-when they know you are using it as a strategy.

GOOD GUY/BAD GUY works when the roles are natural;

GOOD BUY/BAD GUY doesn't work when they know what you are doing.

GREAT negotiators:

ASK more and better questions…

LISTEN intently to the answers…

FIND AND SATISFY NEEDS!

We have two ears and one tongue in order that we may hear more and speak less.

~ Diogenes

Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.

~ John F. Kennedy

~ John Patrick Dolan

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

~ Benjamin Franklin

Negotiations between conflicting parties is like crossing a river by walking on slippery rocks...it's risky, but it's the only way to get across.

~ Hubert Humphrey

You and I have a conflict of needs. I respect your needs, but I must respect my own, too. I will not use my power over you so I win and you lose, but I cannot give in and let you win at the expense of my losing. So, let's agree to search together for a solution that would satisfy your needs and also satisfy mine, so no one loses.

~ Thomas Gordon

Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.

~ Letter to Boswell, 1776

All government--indeed, every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act--is founded on compromise and barter.

~ Edmunt Burke, "Speech on Conciliation with America," March 22, 1775

A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit.

~ George Herbert, Jacula Prudentium, 1640

We often repent of what we have said, but never, never of that which we have not.

~ Thomas Jefferson, "Writings" (c1800)

Mutual content is like a river which must have its banks on either side.

~ Alain Le Sage, Gil Blas (1713-35)

The great thing, then, in all education is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.

~ William James, 1914

To every thing there is a season...a time to keep silence, a time to speak.

~ Ecclesiastes 3:1,7

Inspirational Quotes by Jim Rohn

A formal education will make you a living, but self-education will make you a fortune.

- Jim Rohn

As an entrepreneur, you already possess some of the wonderful skills and characteristics for success. However, no one can be expected to know everything and perfectly possess all of the strengths for success.

That means it’s important to spend time, energy and even money to improve yourself both personally and professionally.

When you take time and action toward self-improvement, you’re preparing yourself to not only be ready for future opportunities but to be able to recognize and embrace future opportunities.

Self-Education offers you the ability to:

Broaden your horizons

Expose yourself to new people, thoughts, ideas, practices, philosophies, and opportunities

Enrich your soul

Strengthen your self confidence

And embrace all of those marvelous entrepreneurial qualities you already possess.

Continual and regular improvement helps you hone your entrepreneurial strengths. It helps you improve yourself not necessarily where you are weak but where you desire growth.

One of the amazing characteristics of entrepreneurs is the ability to adapt quickly and stay one-step ahead. You’re superior at looking to and planning for the future.

Just as it is important to evaluate your business plan and strategies regularly, it’s also important to do that for yourself. Regularly evaluate your strengths and weaknesses and create a plan for self-improvement.

Performing regular assessment of your strengths, skills and weaknesses, is the best way to make sure you’re not only growing but also ready for changes and the opportunities they present.

Just as the world of internet business changes so do you. You are in a constant state of evolution.

One True Constant

Someone once said that there is one true constant in life – change. That includes you. You are in a constant state of evolution.

When you spend time evaluating how you’ve changed and where you want to go, you can plan for the future both personally and professionally.

In addition to honing your professional skills and driving profits, consider what you have to gain personally.

Satisfaction with your job

Pride in your accomplishments

Mental stimulation and self-awareness

Personal connections

Self confidence

Self awareness

Improved quality of life

Contentedness

Passion and Personal and Professional Development

A career and business without passion is a life unfulfilled. When you have passion for what you do, abundance follows.

In The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer, he writes on the seven faces of intention. One of the faces of intention is love. He says, “if you aren’t doing what you love and loving what you do, your power of intention is weakened.

You attract into your life more of the dissatisfaction that isn’t the face of love.” Consequently when you are doing what you love, what you’re passionate about, you attract more into your life.

In Mind map to Riches How to Create Lasting and Sustainable Wealth Online, we talk about how to build a profitable business on something you’re passionate about.

This is important for many reasons including the fact that passion is contagious and when you’re excited about something others will be to. This opens doors for opportunities and profits.

It also means you’re enjoying what you’re doing and are more productive with your time. It really is easier to accomplish something you enjoy doing than to accomplish something you don’t enjoy doing.

In that vein passions also often align themselves with skills and strengths. When your passion and your strengths and skills align, the results are profitable both professionally and personally.

Personal development in areas you’re passionate about helps you grow as a person and an entrepreneur. If you’re not growing, you’re dying – the same is true for your business.

When you know your strengths, you can focus on those, improve those. Your strengths are what make you successful.

Passion also brings excitement and motivation to learn and when your strengths and passion are aligned, the sky is the limit.

When you know what your strengths are, and conversely when you know your limitations too, it gives you the power, courage, and information to make wise decisions about your business and your life.

Continually educating yourself, not only in areas where you’re strong in business but in areas you’d like to explore, is one of the best ways to continue to stay on top of your game as an entrepreneur.

It will keep your mind fresh and open to new ideas and opportunities.

Strategies to Fit Development into Your Busy Life

You might be scratching your head and wondering how you’re going to fit all this personal and professional development into your already busy life.

Owning and operating, and hopefully growing, a business can certainly be a full time job and if you’re balancing it with another full time job, friends, family and those outside activities, which help you stay balanced and happy, then you’re right.

It might seem as if there is absolutely no room to budge, no time in your schedule - personal and professional development may seem like a pipe dream.

The good news is where there’s a will there’s a way. Let’s take a look at a few strategies to fit personal and professional development into your busy life.

• Go Online. Online education is in high demand and there are courses, workshops and teleseminars on just about every topic under the sun.

From personal development to professional development, the benefits of on-line training are relatively apparent for anyone looking at furthering their education.

You save both time and money and online education gives you the power to fit it into your schedule as you see fit.

• Online you can also find wonderful support groups, mentors, coaches, and mastermind groups. That way you can participate wherever you are and whenever it fits into your schedule.

• Hit the library and bookstore. Books, whether audio books or print, are an excellent tool to self-improvement.

Audio books are wonderful for commuting or listening too while you’re waiting. Again, these are low cost, low commitment, high results learning tools.

• Check into your community offerings. Many communities offer learning opportunities. What’s better than finding inspiration and education in your own community?

It’s a great way to connect to other business owners in your community as well as potential clients and it’s significantly more convenient than hopping on a plane to attend a 7-day workshop.

Self-improvement, both personally and professionally, is a great way to embrace life.

When you take time and action towards self-improvement, you’re preparing yourself to be ready for future opportunities and to be able to recognize and welcome future opportunities.

Continual and regular improvement helps you hone your entrepreneurial strengths, it drives opportunity and it helps you embrace and profit from change.
