The final deal I struck landed somewhere between Like and Intend, with a few perks I had not even considered, so I felt it was a success.
Why Negotiation Works
There are a couple of reasons why simple models are useful but often forgotten.
The LIMits
The wholesale business has a great deal of profit potential. Provided that you buy wholesale products that people want, and you make sure to buy them at the right price, you can make plenty of money.Thanks to the Internet you can easily view the wholesale products of thousands of wholesale sellers.

Phased by the glut of information, I went within and remembered the wise teachings from a senior manager in my early working life. So, come closer, listen up, because he was very wise indeed…
He said “Do you know your LIMits?”
“My what? said I cautiously, wondering if he was asking about my drinking capacity, driving speed or something equally off the wall.
Being worldlier than I, he noticed my confusion and helped me out.
“Lyndsay, if you want to be successful in life, you need to know your LIMits. Let me explain. What would you Like to have? What do you Intend to have? What Must you have? What are your LIMit’s?”
Slowly it dawned on me that he was talking the strange management language of mnemonics.
He wrote down the word for me like this.
L
I
M
I
T
S
And next to the letters he wrote
L – like to have: your number 1, top of the pile, best outcome
I – intend to have: your realistic, shoot for the stars but reach the moon outcome
M – must have: your bottom line. Deal is off if this is not met.
(The I,T and S are irrelevant, just convenient additions to prevent asking what your LIM are!)
Testing the Theory
And so ended his lesson. Off I scampered like the eager young graduate I was, itching to put this into practice. Thinking about a possible secondment opportunity I wrote the following:
Like – 10% bonus, new laptop, mentoring with new senior manager
Intend – 5% bonus, attendance at special course, return to new job after secondment
Must – same pay, relocation expenses paid, credit in my appraisal

There are many avenues for success. Sometimes, success is just a door away; once you have to right key, success will fall into your hands. But in business, success is not gained through luck alone. It will not come to you unless you do something to achieve it.Success is the goal of all businessmen. And because of this, it always becomes the top priority in business. But success is intangible, and that it makes it

Paid surveys have become an extremely popular market research strategy, bringing companies millions of dollars, while paid survey takers also benefit. What are the advantages of taking paid surveys?Survey companies are growing in number, and also – in profit. The reason is the huge market niche that the survey industry has to occupy. Today, companies of all scopes – from the small home businesses to the multinatio

Participants in industry conferences often have their own display space for presentations and information handouts. It makes sense to use the opportunity to promote your business and your company where you have a gathering of people in your industry. Conference gifts offer a great way to send your message and your name home with fellow attendees at your conference.When you choose your conference gifts, take the ti

When it comes to looking after our customers, quite often there’s a gap, a huge gap between theory and practice. There are books about customer relations; there are videos about customer relations; there are Gurus (mostly self-appointed) about customer relations. None of them actually have to deliver customer relations. That chore is left to what was known in the last two World Wars as the PBI – as in “Poor B….y Infantry

Why Negotiation Works
There are a couple of reasons why simple models are useful but often forgotten.
The LIMits negotiation model encourages flexible thinking in that there are 3 potential good outcomes. Compare this with the most common alternative - success or failure – and you can see there is only 1 measly good outcome. You don’t have to be a gambling pro to work out which approach is best! The secret of the LIMits model is if you don’t meet all the criteria for success, then the opposite is not failure, just a different outcome.
The other benefit of using the LIMits negotiation model is it forces you to prepare, gaining you vital spare capacity when you are in the thick of the negotiation. You will be clear about your position and better able to get that across.
Information overload
As I demonstrated, simple models are forgotten because we seek out newer, shinier ideas in books, the internet or from other sources. Reduce information overload by re-using what you already know or recycling an old idea into one that works today. Old knowledge is not always redundant.
So, negotiate that new job, better deal or contract. All you need is to know your LIMits.
