How It Helps Your Business English
The guide first explains the key terms of a negotiation and the part each one plays. Thirty-six phrases follow, grouped by moment: beginning, establishing terms, making and rejecting a proposal, negotiating terms, arguing a point, agreeing, disagreeing, compromising, clarifying, suggesting and closing the deal. Five preparation strategies end the article.
You can prepare with the five strategies first: fix a clear objective, weigh your leverage, consider what the other side expects, gather the figures that support you and decide where you can concede. Then take the phrases for the moment you are at, whether you are opening the discussion, turning down an offer or closing the deal. The groups follow the order of a real negotiation.
