Negotiation RequiresOpenl AND Diplomatic Communication
Negotiation not only refers to bargaining from opposites sides to find a happy medium, but also to be able to obtain what it is you desire so that all parties agree. In the latter case and career-related, the request or desire should motivate the other people involved to comply.
It’s been said before that no one can guess what a person is thinking without years of familiarity. Therefore each of us needs to speak up when a circumstance arises of which we are not particularly happy. Likewise, when you are selling an idea or service to another, take time to understand their point of view first. This way you will know what matters most to them and what will motivate that person to take action.
When a misunderstanding occurs, all parties need to be willing to revisit the situation that caused distress. Only then will you uncover where the communication was misinterpreted and apologies may be made. Should others not want to do so or admit everyone had some involvement in the disagreement, then nothing will be negotiated or resolved. It becomes a matter of reckoning whether spending additional time on the matter is worth your time. As others see you working to reoslve conflict, you will build your personal brand in a very favorable light and it may well place you in a position of leadership.
Diplomacy and a willingness to neogiate or find a settlement usually turns the event full circule into a positive zone headed for additional sales. The zig zag of life presents a challenge and becomes highly rewarding once the straighter path and the Smooth Sale are found.
