Business negotiations are a lengthy and often arduous process with many characteristics and techniques to hone. So, how can you navigate these deals to reach an effective solution?
According to Jim Schleckser, the fear of loss is greater than the desire for gain. When conducting a deal with another businessperson, it’s necessary to leverage their risk aversion to expedite the process. By identifying your adversary’s greatest fear and offering them a guaranteed solution, you can utilize the time value of money to secure a favorable outcome.
