Overview
The negotiation process is not difficult, but requires a certain amount of skill and training. Negotiations, whether between individuals, businesses or even nation-states are really nothing more than a process in which concerned parties come to an agreement that serves everyone’s best interests. Instead of one dominating or imposing power over the other, the parties attempt to reach a consensus in which everyone is satisfied. Business negotiation skills are valuable tools in this process. Business negotiations are used not only by management and sales/ purchasing representatives, but by virtually everyone involved in the day-to-day operation of the company. Negotiation is a better way to motivate others to cooperate rather than using pressure and domination strategies that may work in the short term, but ultimately causes distrust and resentment – and ultimately, profits.
