They say things like, “I want to be happy,” or “I want to be rich,” or “I want perfect mate.” To be honest, as wonderful as those statements are, they’re far too vague to ever be reached. What does happiness look and feel like? What’s your definition of rich? How would you describe that perfect mate? Each of us has a different interpretation of what those things mean. For example, I define happiness as having freedom to do what I please, when I please to do it. Being rich means having tens of millions of dollars in bank, and that perfect mate has movie actress charm and heart of Mother Teresa.

There is no right or wrong to fire up your opening negotiation… There may be a lot of people who are uncertain about right way to start off a fruitful negotiation with their counterparts. They tend to think or behave as though there is really a “right” way to start it off, which eventually will make them expect magic word “yes” from their opponent. I speak from my experience. There isn’t any blueprint on how or what you should follow throughout your negotiation tactics, but perhaps there are several ways which you may want to consider.Here are 2 main important issues you need to consider when opening your negotiation talks. a)Hear, understand and tackle main issues first and foremost b)Building a cooperative environment and getting trust and respect from each other. Say no to guerilla negotiating… The first strategy is what I shall say, most risky kind of tactic you shouldn’t employ. If you demand too much in first place, you may provoke and outrage other opponent, which in end may set your negotiations into a wrong direction. If things are so hard and difficult to come by for your opponent in first place, do you think if by any chance that they will listen to you in long run? They may not be aware of significance of main topics that you are bringing in, but tackling it later on will certainly save you a lot of time in long run. Build rapport first.
