WHY NEGOTIATION ~ WHY NOW

Negotiation is an ever present opportunity to advance and or protect your interests.  These opportunities are found in a wide variety of business situations including purchasing, selling, licensing, outsourcing, and establishing strategic alliances, partnerships and joint ventures.  Whether we are faced with executing successful business transactions or personal interactions, negotiation is the best approach to deal effectively with conflicting interests. 

An opportunity to negotiate is a pivotal moment of great opportunity.  This is particularly true in times of turmoil and instability.  Change is opportunity’s nickname and skilled, prepared negotiators are ideally positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.

Think of it, seldom is so much in the hands of so few, for such a short time, for the sole purpose of producing advantageous change.  The outcome of a negotiation has the potential to change the course of a business, a career, or a life.  If the few who take a seat at the bargaining table are entrepreneurial, skilled and prepared, they can make great things happen. 

As Sun Tzu observed in the Art of War, “Therefore a victorious army first wins and then seeks battle; a defeated army seeks battle to achieve victory.”
