Business people negotiate every day-whether it's settling on a price, ironing out the terms of a contract, or just getting everyone to agree on a meeting time. Creative Negotiating gives you the negotiating techniques you need for every situation you'll face-from the simplest to the most difficult.
Author Stephen Kozicki breaks the negotiating process into four easy-to-follow steps- investigation, presentation, bargaining, and agreement-and shows you how to negotiate your way successfully through all four stages. His proven strategy is based on flexibility, careful planning, and four basic principles:
* There are no rules
* Everything is negotiable
* Always ask for a better deal
* Learn how to say no
With dozens of real-world examples, illustrations, and diagrams, Creative Negotiating shows that you don't have to be manipulative or play tough to be a master negotiator. Learning to negotiate can be easy and fun, and before long you'll have the other side in the palm of your hand!
