I Got A Better Deal – The Art Of Negotiation

A good business person needs good strategies for negotiating a better deal when making transactions, regardless of which side of the bargaining table you are on. We all want to learn how to be more successful, and one of those ways is by negotiating a better deal in financial matters. This skill is necessary in order to be a success in life or business. Negotiation skills can make or break you in any deal, so it is important to understand how to use this art and skill effectively.

I am offering 4 tips to negotiating a better deal, which is one where both parties feel happy about the situation and felt they got most or all of what they wanted. It is possible for both sides to feel as if they accomplished something, without anyone being hurt. These strategies could be used to negotiate a better price on a new car, home, boat, close a sale, or get a new salary.

4 Tips To Negotiating A Better Deal

#1: Let Them Do The Talking
If you let them open the negotiations, you will able to let the other party set the opening bid. Why? Think about this scenario: you find an item you wish to purchase through a classified ad, and the item is listed as “Make Offer”. You arrive to have a look at it, and think it is worth $500 to you. You ask what the other party would like to get for the item, and they say “around $350″. Had you offered $500 right away, you would have lost $150. This way, you can probably negotiate the item down to $300 or $325, and get a bargain, and the other party is fairly happy as well. If they start the bidding too low, or too high, depending on which end of the sale you are on, you will also know what they had in mind for the final price, which gives you a chance to work with that or end it earlier. It is important to know what they want, and what you want, and get as close as possible to a solid middle ground, which can be done using this technique.

#2. Don’t Let Your Ego Win
Negotiating a deal should be a win for both parties, at least in their own minds. If you let your ego run the show, you will most likely lose. Turn this around, and let their ego win. Let them know that they are great at negotiations, as many people take pride in their negotiating skills. Give them kudos for their skills, and let them feel better about themselves. Use this to your advantage, and let them think they are winning. They will be more willing to concede a point or two in your favor if they feel they are ‘winning’.

#3. Information Is Your Friend
If you don’t know a lot about what you are negotiating, you will likely lose. When buying a car, knowing the price listed on the web and at other dealers will certainly work in your favor. If you are trying to negotiate a job, know what the going rate is in your region. If you don’t know what you are talking about, you cannot come from a position of strength. Knowledge is power, and power is money, so if you have one, you can get the other. Without knowledge or power, you will lose.

#4. Be Ready To Give And Take
If you are not willing to concede on any points, you have no bargaining power. In a job negotiation, or any negotiation for that matter, you should throw in some points that you don’t really want, so you can concede them during the negotiating process. If you do get them, then that is a bonus, but if you have to sacrifice them, you really won’t care much. This can be a key point in negotiating a good deal – make sure you ask for more than you want, then give in until you get what you wanted to begin with or slightly more. This enables both parties to feel as if they have won. For example, in a job negotiation, tell them you also want your own dedicated parking space, or something similar. Then if the other party balks at that, let it go in favor of something else, and you won’t have to give up something you really wanted.

I hope these tips to negotiating a better deal will help you the next time you buy, sell, or negotiate for a job.

Negotiating a deal is a great way to get more for less. If you are willing to work at it, you can learn this skill and get ahead of the game.

How Different Is A Business Presentation From Public Speaking?

So what is the difference between public speaking & a presentation?

Nobody seems to have a clear answer. Even the Oxford English Dictionary does not clear up the confusion. If you look at the OED definition of the word “presentation” it says “a demonstration or display of materials, information etc; a lecture” So if you are giving information about the life of Abraham Lincoln it would seem you are giving a presentation. If you are telling a customer about a new product similarly you are giving a presentation. So what the heck is public speaking, because most people I come into contact with would reckon that the two previous examples could be classified as public speaking?

I mean do you need to have great presentation skills AND public speaking skills? Or can you get away with just one of them? Or are they the same blinking thing?

In my travels the phrase “public speaking” is more widely used in the USA to cover the whole spectrum of speaking to an audience than in Britain. In Britain, public speaking is something politicians & lawyers do (along with the father of the bride, the after dinner speaker, the captain of a sports club at their annual meeting… oh dear it is getting confusing again)whilst any form of speaking to an audience in a business context seems to be called “a presentation”. My American friends will still call this sort of communication “Public Speaking”! Grrr it all gets very confusing.

Maybe we should dwell on the common British usage of the word “presentation” as when we speak to an audience in a business setting. Could there be something in this neat division. Upon reflection, there are some unique demands placed upon a speaker or speech writer when making a business speech aka “Business Presentation.”

An intimate audience.

You won’t be speaking to the masses. Often a business presentation will be less than a dozen, it might even be just to one person. This can lead to willingness for members of the audience to interrupt and to challenge mid way through your presentation.

You are on away turf

Rather than a conference hall where all speakers, chairmen, mc’s and the audience are on neutral territory, many presentations are held in a clients or your boss’s office. Not only do they feel very at home (& you feel very much ill at ease) but it is often harder to set the room up as you might prefer.

Facts and Figures are important

In a smaller business presentation (to people for whom facts and figures are critical to financial and organisational results) your facts and figures are likely to be challenged. It is essential that you are 100% sure of the accuracy of the content in a presentation.

Seniority of Audience

Very often the audience at a business presentation are likely to be in a more powerful organisational position than you (they are your CEO; they are your client etc). This can be intimidating.

Time is Money

At a conference, the audience have chosen to attend. With a business presentation there is more a feeling that you, as the presenter, are interrupting them. The challenge is to help your audience think that you have not wasted their time; that you have given them something valuable.

The need to get a Decision

The purpose of most business presentations is to get a decision. Rather like a contestant on a show like “Britain’s Got Talent” or “The X-Factor” you are mentally trying to impress the audience and nervous that the buzzer may sound!

“Death by PowerPoint”

Many people automatically think they need PowerPoint slides in a presentation. In fact when I have heard people talk about “putting a presentation together” what they mean is putting a slideshow together. Far too often the production of the slides becomes more important than the construction or the delivery of the message.

But after all this fundamentally presentation skills are very similar to effective public speaking skills.

And I still cant work out if speaking on behalf of your company at a major conference is public speaking or a business presentation.

Both are powerful business communication skills – I can’t remember ever coming across a business leader who cannot deliver both a speech and a presentation with equal confidence, clarity & style.

They rely on the same three core components:

· Understanding & speaking to your audience

· A clear & compelling message

· Engaging delivery

These are the Holy Trinity of Public Speaking.

If you understand these key components, know how to apply them & practise them you can deliver engaging, powerful, and successful presentations and speeches alike.

So at the end of all that it seems rather academic as to whether you call it a presentation or public speaking. The crucial thing is that you want to get a message across to an audience (however big) and get them to take some sort of action.

How do you actually do that?
Ah well, I will tell you that story soon.
