What’s The Best Way To Make A Concession During A Negotiation?
Making concessions during a negotiation is something that none of us really want to do.
We don’t like having to give into the other side on an issue. However, I think that we all realize that in order to reach a deal with the other side, no matter what negotiation styles or negotiating techniques we are using we always have to make concessions. What we need to realize is that each concession that we make is a critical part of how we are going to reach the deal that we want.
Not only do we need to know what concessions we are willing to make, but we also have to know how to go about making those concessions.

When Negotiating Multiple Issues, Who Should Make The First Offer?
As negotiators we are always on edge when we enter into a negotiation.
There are a host of questions that are running through our mind and we are searching for ways to be successful. One of the biggest questions that we deal with has to do with the first offer that is going to be made during the negotiations. Should we use our negotiation styles and negotiating techniques to be the ones who make it or should we sit back and wait for the other side?
If we do make an offer, should it be a strong offer or do we risk alienating the other side?

The Power Of First Impressions When You Are Negotiating
When you use your negotiation styles and negotiating techniques to enter into a negotiation, just exactly how much do you know about the other side?
What you probably have are a number of assumptions that are going to be boosted by the first impressions that the other side makes when you meet them. A question that we should all be asking ourselves is if this is really the best way to go about preparing to negotiate?
Could we be getting things wrong?

Negotiators Have To Be On The Outlook For Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
When we are preparing for our next negotiation, we will try to take everything that we’re going to be up against into account.
What this means is that we’ll study the issues, research who will be on the other side, and we may even check out the location for the negotiation. However, there is one additional thing that we may overlook – any self-fulfilling prophecies that we may be bringing to the table.
If we aren’t careful, these can work against us just as much as the other side will be.

What Makes A Negotiation “Fair”?
When we enter into a negotiation, it is our goal to use our negotiation styles and negotiating techniques reach an agreement with the other side.
Although we may never say it, we expect that agreement to be fair for both sides: nobody is going to be taking advantage of anyone else. However, as the negotiation moves along, we may start to have some doubts. We may start to wonder if the other side is treating us fairly. In fact, we may wonder if this is really a fair negotiation.
How can we tell?
