I think each negotiation should be based on what's the best decision - taking everything into account, not taking one thing into account.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
I'm not big with negotiating.
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.
Negotiation means getting the best of your opponent.
Negotiation is not a policy. It's a technique. It's something you use when it's to your advantage, and something that you don't use when it's not to your advantage.
I'd like to add that negotiating is not something to be avoided or feared - it's an everyday part of life.
Negotiating in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.
I've grown up a little bit. I understand the importance of the negotiation. It is a collective act.
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.
