Certainly it is much easier to think about negotiating and having deals when there is a singular represented point of view. That pretty much is a given.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd like to add that negotiating is not something to be avoided or feared - it's an everyday part of life.
The whole concept of negotiating is intimidating to many people.
Yes, negotiating is about money and the bottom line, but a lot of times, it's much more emotional and complex than that. Realizing that the economic outcome may not be the other party's top priority gives you more chips to play with and will enable you to achieve better results than you may have anticipated.
Negotiating in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.
I'm not big with negotiating.
Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.
Oftentimes, the best negotiations result in a deal that benefits both parties. There are times when you simply want to go for the jugular, but often, you want the other person to feel pleased with the outcome, even if you are the clear victor.
Simple logic dictates that if you cannot even conceive the possibility of leaving a negotiation, then it is preferable never to enter one.
I've grown up a little bit. I understand the importance of the negotiation. It is a collective act.
I think each negotiation should be based on what's the best decision - taking everything into account, not taking one thing into account.
