Give and take techniques abound all around us. Thrift stores, movies, and mom give us several opportunities to see everyday negotiation action.
Wincing, Limited Authority, False Deadlines
Go to your local thrift store, flea market, or swap meet. Practice your negotiation techniques while buying a cheesy Hawaiian shirt. Here's how it goes ...
Merchant: "May I help you sir or madam?"
You: "Why yes, how much is this cheesy Hawaiian shirt?"
Merchant: "Ten dollars."
You: "Ten dollars!" (A wince, followed by silence)
Merchant: "How about eight dollars?"
You: "Eight dollars!" (Another wince) "My mom said I could only spend $5.00 on any cheesy Hawaiian shirt I wanted." (Limited authority)
Merchant: "Five dollars!" (Another wince)
You: "Yes, and we have to leave for home in five minutes." (False deadline)
Merchant: "Well, okay kid, I'll let you have it for five dollars."
You: "Ah, great", you say to yourself, "I really got him."
Merchant: (To himself) "That's the most I've gotten for one of these dogs in months!"

I believe that most organizations are miserable places to work. They are Corporate Cubeworlds. And no one is to blame. Companies have inherited their corporate culture from the Industrial Age and it just don't work anymore. People are unhappy and Corporate Cubeworlds are much less profitable than they could be.Before I go further, let me identify what I mean by the Corporate Cubeworld.Key Attributes of the Corporate

Admittedly, I have not seen your advertising flyer. Then again, I probably don't have to. I have reviewed hundreds, if not thousands, of advertising flyers for small businesses. After 30 years I have found that nearly every small business ad flyer contains the same mistakes and missed opportunities. Avoid these seven common mistakes, and your advertising flyer - and your marketing in general - will be stronger for it.Adver

In the dealer-agent relationship, the agent merely undertakes to sell the goods on behalf of the dealer at the best possible price. For these services, he receives compensation in the form of commission on the sales. Until the goods have been sold, they remain the property of the dealer and not of the agent. This means that the dealer is entitled to the proceeds from the sale of the goods dispatched, so the agent is obliged to
Silence In The Movies Weekend at Bernie's is a great example of silence in negotiation. Although Bernie is dead, nobody seems to notice. While propped up on a sofa at a party, dead Bernie receives an offer to buy his Porsche for $35,000. Bernie is silent. Minutes later he is offered $40,000. Bernie still says nothing. Then he is offered $45,000. More silence. Even when the offer tops $55,000, Bernie still says nothing. If we acted more like Bernie, we'd put a lot more life in our negotiations.
In Glengarry Glen Ross, there is a scene where Al Pacino loses a sale because Kevin Spacey volunteers information in front of Pacino's client without knowing the details of the negotiations. Pacino later tells Spacey, "You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is." Larry Winget, a Tulsa, Oklahoma based motivational speaker, says that you never volunteer unsolicited information because it's often used in objections later on.
Mom Knows Best (Pressure Technique)
Have you ever had a pushy person try to pressure you into a quick decision on an important matter? Yielding to this kind of pressure (which is really just another false deadline) can be disastrous.
Our moms knew this when we were kids. Remember when we would relentlessly badger our moms for a quick answer to a seemingly monumental problem? Mom would say, "If I have to answer you now the answer has to be no. But, if you give me some time to think about it, the answer might be yes."
Smart kids are usually willing to let up a little bit in return for the potential of a positive outcome.
