“For a good negotiation result never make a statement when you could ask a question to discover what your counterpart really wants.”
Negotiation is a game. You have to play by the rules and always have a Plan B in your pocket.
Negotiation positions are supported by interests.
You can only win if you treat your counterpart as a human being and question his motives and interests. If both sides try desperately to win as if their lives depended on it, the author argues, no satisfactory result will be achieved.
