Every Expert Must Utilize A Wide Variety Of Quality Negotiation Tricks And Tactics

By Richard Ruffingdale


Each time that corporations bid for transactions, it is unavoidable that a series of business negotiations tricks and tactics will have to be enacted for any deal to be finalized. A lot of individuals can grow to be harassed by this modus operandi and feel that "hard sell" manners of wily negotiators determined to get hold of as much potential cash at the client's expense as feasible has made them sign up under duress. Any person who regards the negotiation tricks and tactics employed during their dealings as being excessive and designed to force them into endorsing a settlement through intimidation can legally take advantage of a specified "cooling down" phase during which to reconsider the compact, and, if needed, rescind it without consequences.

Many salesmen will use dubious facts and statistics to promote their products. Try to stop them in their tracks by demanding to know the source of their assumptions. Be sure you ask them to justify the derivation of the numbers they are using.

Another commonly used ploy is the negotiator's claim that he or she does not have the authority to come to a final decision on the spot, but rather has to take the deal to a higher authority for verification. This delaying scheme is designed to make the other party accept previously rejected terms through impatience or a fear of missing out on the contract altogether. To avoid this scenario, it makes sense to discover who exactly does have the power to agree terms and deal with them directly from the start.

Buyers should look out for add-ons being forced upon them whilst negotiating. Unscrupulous dealers might also try to undermine a client's confidence by using personal attacks. Another ruse involves a "good guy/bad guy" practice in which the "good guy" character attempts to sell the idea that it is sensible, reasonable and safer for the client to accept a few of the "bad guy" character's stipulations in order for negotiations to move ahead.

The potential customer might be exposed to an intimidatory approach to make concessions against their will. Some representatives will take up the "all or nothing" manoeuvre. This is not a viable style of bargaining and customers should merely discount it or invalidate it by calling the agent to account.

Another variation on the intimidation approach is the "chicken" strategy. Again this can be countered by forcing the point. Brinkmanship will almost always fail if the other side refuses to be browbeaten.

Be careful about the rogue who will entice you into an accord with what appears to be favourable arrangements but later uses an array of delaying activities to inject ancillary expenses into any deal. In this position, immediate expert legal advice might prove essential. Never allow consultations to become so encumbered with technicalities and complexities to the point where you fail to remember exactly what you set out to achieve.

Business negotiations tricks and tactics often involve a falsely imposed deadline. Unless there is a genuine time limit that both sides can identify, do not be cowed into accepting an artificial timeframe. If a negotiator cannot justify the time constraints he/she is trying to attach to a deal, try to impose your own cut-off date instead.
