Here are five useful facts about English negotiations:

The goal of a negotiation is to reach an agreement with someone whose interests are not the same as yours.

Your bargaining partner will be happier if you make several concessions than if they get what they think they want.

It’s not enough to merely make a want list for yourself. Identify what’s in it for the other person and try to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

Make the first offer. The first offer serves as an anchor point for the rest of the negotiation. It can also help you gain the upper hand in the negotiation.

It’s possible for both parties to walk away from a negotiation feeling like they’ve won. The key is to focus on interests, not positions. By identifying the underlying interests of both parties, you can often find creative solutions that benefit everyone.
