2. You’re usually not that far apart.
3. Price knockers are usually a constant source of problems after the fact.
4. Don’t use take it or leave it tactics.
5. Be cool. But maintain focus.
6. Take a break. Just take time to chill-out
7. Be theatrical if needed – making imaginary calls to (boss, manager, lawyers, accountants and partners are commonplace in negotiating).
8. Women negotiating against men…use your femininity, men love it. Learn about football and basketball, men love it — even if you hate it. Use humor, men love it. You have the advantage.
9. Know the five warning signs to walk away
10. Let the other guy think he or she is winning.
