Deep down, we are all greedy.

Whether you accept it or not, but this is the reality.

Therefore, sometimes, when you are pitching your services or trying to crack a deal with potential clients, you often make blunders that eventually impact negatively.

And in result, you end up losing a big deal.

Why is this happening so frequently?

So, keeping this serious problem in mind, we have decided to pen down three influential techniques that will open the door of negotiating a business deal successfully.

1. Prepare, Prepare, Prepare:

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently.” – Warren Buffet.

Successful negotiations are based on solid preparations. It allows you to do a handful of research about the other party’s business, how it operates, past experiences, etc.

Taking all such important information into consideration, you always have better and visibly bright chances of initiating the conversation on a positive note.

2. Keep Your Ego Aside:

“Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzz can be a substitute for that.” – Anthony Volodkin

There is a huge difference between having a random chit chat and business conversation.

In the former, you keep no boundaries and limitations, whereas a business conversation is something that should always be free from the ego and all sorts of emotions.

So, you better keep your emotions at the door while negotiating a business deal and talk more factual, professional, and logical to strengthen your chances of ending the conversation with a win.

3. Offer and expect commitment:

“Without commitment, you cannot have depth in anything, whether it’s a relationship, a business or a hobby.” – Neil Strauss

When it comes to business, you stick to what you say.

And you should expect a similar level of commitment from the other end as well, as this will eradicate all the barriers and misconceptions, and allow both parties to work sensibly.

Makes sense?
