Basic Negotiation Skills and Steps

Explore how negotiation shapes daily decisions from salaries to deadlines. See how rushed terms harm trust and create penalties, missing win-win outcomes.

Negotiate as an art by understanding both parties' interests and pursuing a win win situation. Improve interpersonal relationships, reduce conflict, and gain better control in business and daily life.

Learn distributive and integrative negotiation strategies, compare win-lose versus win-win outcomes, and practice ethical, fair, and flexible tactics to protect future relationships and reach mutually beneficial agreements.

Compare distributive (win-lose) and assertive negotiation, and follow the negotiation steps—meeting, inquiry, bargain, closure, and acceptance—while planning neutral settings and knowing your audience for effective outcomes.

Learn to bargain after understanding concerns, reach the middle ground, and close with an agreement, guided by preparation on scope and timelines and a win for both sides.

Identify the core elements of win-win negotiation by pausing for reflection, clarifying objectives, exploring needs and requirements, and identifying gaps to craft a mutually beneficial proposal within timeline and scope.
