Yeah, negotiation can be very tricky! That's what makes it so challenging. And it's the challenge that makes it fun. Robin,

"It’s designed to use your opponents force against them" this line is interesting and useful. Whats scary about negotiating is that it sometimes leads to arguments. Negotiationis an art. Cheers mate and take care. Will be back for sure. Hi Shane,

I've had a few discussions with Japanese companies. They always make sure someone on the team is very proficient in English and usually the rest of the team has a good working knowledge of it. Jon, I'll tell you, writing this post was really easy. It's actually one of the easiest posts I've written. The table of techniques was something I put together some time ago (along with the basic concept). The rest just flowed. I always find that my best posts (and most popular) are the easiest to write. All the elements just come together ... instinctively Jag,

Negotiation is an art, and not an easy at that. One thing I learnt is that, never ever negotiate in a language you are not strong with. Get them to talk terms in your most proficient language and the edge will be with you. Cheers, Jag Hey,

I think I read that post 4 or 5 times! "you have to practice these techniques until they become instinct" that can be applied to so many things in life and in business, you have to develop those skill till it's simply the natural way.
