How to become a strong negotiator!

·Nov 3, 2024

Best place to learn your negotiating skills is with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, your kids, your parents. That's the place you fight like hell, and then you make up right after that. But at least, hopefully, you've learned something about it.

The worst is you fight the same way every time, and you never learn how to negotiate. Well, then you're going to always lose every fight. I'm really sure how to give tips on negotiations because it's not something that I give it much thought to. It's a natural way of talking with people and reading them, and listening to them, and trying to learn what they're trying to achieve.

If you know what they're trying to achieve and what's not important to them, you should use that to the advantage of them or to you. You want to know where your final destination is, and most of the time, it's not a direct straight line from A to Z. It never is.

You're always going around here, around there, around there, and you just want to get to that end target. If you know that target you're trying to get to, you just have to filter out the things that don't matter and focus on the things that do matter. If you do that, you could probably get rid of 75 percent of all the issues. Thank you.
