Preparation for Negotiations
 Gather outside information on possible alternatives and prices to
compare to.
 Establish points of leverage that can be used during negotiation.
 Set a goal or target maximum/minimum value that you are willing to
buy/sell at.
 Decide initial approach method (friendly negotiation/good cop-bad
cop/etc…)
 Through negotiations try to determine the oppositions stand point (do
they NEED an agreement? do they have other options? Etc…)
 Most importantly, always shoot for a Win/Win conclusion. If both
parties can improve their situation and keep a friendly position with
each other it will make it easier to negotiate again in the future.
