Negotiation Strategies

• Maximalziel is what you want to achieve in a negotiation, such as getting a 12% discount.

• If you don't achieve your maximal goal, what orientates you? Consider what you ideally want. However, be realistic. Fantasies won't help you.

• Alternatives are what you make moveable. What can you give up? Where can you see other solutions?

• In most negotiations, only price is discussed. However, there are so many other important factors: delivery times, quality, service, etc. Consider alternatives outside of the negotiation as well.

• Your minimal goal should be the line you don't want to cross. If your goal is too small, you'll have no reason to stay in the negotiation.

• Never bluff with exit criteria! This technique has a strong power, but only if your negotiation partners know you're serious.
