If in Doubt — Both Feet Out
Trust your instincts. Clarity comes after courage. #MondayMorningNegotivation #Negotiation #Motivation
There are no rules in negotiation but.. if there were these would be my three;
Always know what you are negotiating for;
Always know who you are negotiating with (or against);
Always be in control…
Most failed negotiations aren’t lost at the table.. they’re lost before it.
When you don’t know the value, your counterparty or your walkaway, you’re just guessing. Control comes from clarity.
And if the deal ever smells wrong.. it probably is.. and you’re being manipulated! So, if in doubt.. both feet out.. Have the guts to just get out of there.. Walkaway, trust your instincts, and then plan plan plan. Return and negotiate a better outcome.
