Negotiation Skills? Yes No?

Negotiation skills are only ever important if you speak to another human being. If you never talk to anyone, then you don't need them. Negotiation is the art of letting someone else have your way!

We use these skills both professionally and personally.

We are not born with this skill or knowledge, we need to learn it. The best place to start is with these two books, "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss and "Start With NO" by Jim Camp. Then go from there and read other books on persuasion and having difficult conversations. Sign up for newsletters at Christ Voss' website (https://www.blackswanltd.com/). Jim Camp is here (https://campnegotiations.com/)

You need to make these skills and knowledge part of your DNA!

Looking for success? Remember, you don't get what you deserve you get what you negotiate.

Also, there is no "win-win". This is a myth. What there is are reaching fair agreements that all the parties will keep.

In business, we keep things simple, not complicated. Simple things work; complicated things do not work, because they are COMPLICATED!
