Lesson 1: Introduction

Negotiation occurs in business, non-profit organizations, government branches, legal proceedings, among nations and in personal situations such as marriage, divorce, parenting, and everyday life. The study of the subject is called negotiation theory. Professional negotiators are often specialized, such as union negotiators, leverage buyout negotiators, peace negotiators, hostage negotiators, or may work under other titles, such as diplomats, legislators or brokers.

Lesson 2: Method of win-win negotiation

What Is Win-Win Negotiation? Ever heard someone say that they 'gave away the farm'? Despite our best intentions, we sometimes negotiate too much value away to arrive at an agreement. Even when we go into our talks with high motivations and a grandiose, exuberant spirit of cooperation, we have to be wary and dip our toes cautiously into the waters to make sure we aren't about to be devoured by a grinning and hungry shark. Today, many of us hear that win-win negotiations are all the rage. Academia has in more recent times married win-win to principled negotiation.

Lesson 3: Elements of power stations of "Culture for peace"

One of the biggest stumbling blocks encountered by a negotiator is to clearly understand the real issues as the root cause and basis for the negotiation in the first place. All too many times, negotiators take insufficient time to clearly identify and frame the problem or issues to be resolved and negotiated. This is the crucial first step to any negotiation. If this first phase of the negotiation process is not addressed properly, than it is quite likely that the rest the whole negotiation process will unravel because the core issues were not properly understood at the outset.

Lesson 4: Cerebral DOMINANCE and conflict


Motivation, management, communications, relationships - focused on yourself or others - are a lot more effective when you understand yourself, and the people you seek to motivate or manage or develop or help. Understanding personality is also a key to unlocking elusive human qualities, for example leadership, motivation, and empathy, whether your purpose is self-development, helping others, or any other field relating to people and how we behave.

Lesson 5: Skills advanced listening

Mutual trust is a shared belief that you can depend on each other to achieve a common purpose. More comprehensively trust defined as "the willingness of a party (trustor) to be vulnerable to the actions of another party (trustee) based on the expectation that the trustee will perform an action important to the trustor, regardless of the trustor's ability to monitor or control the trustee." "People sense how you feel about them. If you want to change their attitudes toward you, change the negative attitudes you have toward them." Building relationships requires the building of trust.

Lesson 6: Emotional intelligence skills in negotiating

Researchers Alice Isen and Peter Carnevale found that a positive mood leads to greater value creation. Good feelings may signal that a situation is low in risk. With little need for the vigilance associated with negative emotions, negotiators may be more willing to think creatively. By contrast, researchers historically have found that anger is more likely to be associated with value claiming. But anger can actually hinder this process. In a 1997 study, Keith Allred, John Mallozzi, Fusako Matsui, and Christopher Raia found more complex results regarding the effects of anger and compassion on negotiation processes and outcomes.

Lesson 7: Strategies and tactics of the negotiation process


How to Balance Power in Conflict. Power struggles frequently make their way into our personal interactions and cause conflict. Trying to one-up someone or put them down is never constructive, just as allowing someone to devalue you or overpower you is never constructive. These destructive behaviors can lead to downward spirals both in our relationships and our general conflicts. Instead of engaging in a power struggle, try to balance power relationships, so that each person comes out with their values and self-respect intact.

Lesson 8: Keys to effective decision-making

Effective leaders go through six steps as part of their decision-making process. It’s very similar to skiers on a giant slalom. They’re met with different obstacles — a series of gates — and as they get closer to the bottom of the hill, they’re typically moving increasingly faster, trying to navigate the gates without missing any. Similarly, when making decisions, the deeper you get into the process, the faster you’re moving and the easier it is to skip steps.

Lesson 9: PROPER MANAGEMENT OF OBJECTIONS

Sometimes when negotiating , there are objections. But an objection isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It often means your prospect is interested in your offer. There are negotiation strategies for overcoming objections. And in addition to solving these problems objections can be avoided in the first place. But as you develop more as a salesperson you come to incorporate them and make effective negotiations.
