Why Negotiate?
Gavin Kennedy in his book The NewNegotiating Edge says..
Animals do not negotiate. They use violence or the threat of
violence to get what they want, whether it be food, a mate orterritory.
Have you ever seen 2 dogs negotiate over a bone?
Trade is the human foundation of human civilisation. It is whatmakes humans different from animals.
Negotiation is anathema to tyrants, who usually wantsomething for nothing and do not recognise a need for anotherpersons voluntary consent before they get what they want

DEBATING
To be successful in negotiation you must build relationshipsand trust
You need to avoid the following- Point scoringYour company is always late with deliveries so Im
not paying that! InsultsIf you insist on that price you must be stupid ProvocationKeep talking like that and see where it gets you! ThreatsYou just wait until your other customers hear about this
Instead try- Building a relationship It will make your negotiation much easier Sticking to an agreed agenda This will help avoid destructive
discussions. Share information and ask questions What do you want what
do they want Try and be positive and listen What do they want and why look
for areas of win/win or easy compromise.
