It's time to negotiate! Here are a few golden rules to successful negotiations:
现在是谈判的时间了!下面是成功谈判的黄金原则:
1) Always try to negotiate for at least 15 minutes. Any less than that and it is unlikely that either party has had enough time to fairly consider the other side. Generally, the size or seriousness of the negotiation determines the amount of time needed to negotiate it. Setting a time limit is a good idea. Approximately 90% of negotiations get settled in the last 10% of the discussion.
至少让谈判持续15分钟。少于这个时间的话谈判的一方是不会有足够的时间去考虑另一方的观点的。一般来说谈判的规格或严肃性决定了它所需要的时间。设置一个时间限是一个好主意。大约90%的谈判是在最后10%的讨论过程中建立的。
2) Always offer to let the other party speak first. This is especially important if you are the one making a request for something such as a raise. The other party may have overestimated what you are going to ask for and may actually offer more than what you were going to request.
总是让对方先说,这点尤为重要特别当你是提要求的一方比如要求加薪时。对方可能会高估你所要求的或者实际上打算提供的超出你想要的。
3) Always respect and listen to what your opponent has to say. This is important even if he or she does not extend the same courtesy to you. Do your best to remain calm and pleasant even if the other party is displaying frustration or anger. Remember some people will do anything to intimidate you.
认真听对方在讲什么。这点很重要,即使对方并没有表现出相同的礼貌。如果对方表现出沮丧或愤怒,也要保持冷静和愉悦。记住一些人可能会恐吓你。
4) Acknowledge what the other party says. Everyone likes to know that what they say is important. If the other party opens first, use it to your advantage, by paraphrasing what you have heard. Repeat their important ideas before you introduce your own stronger ones.
回应对方所说的。每个人喜欢看到自己所说的是重要的。如果对方先开始,那么重新阐述一下你所听到的。在你介绍你自己的观点之前重复他们的重要想法。
5) Pay attention to your own and your counterpartner's body language. Review the chart below to learn how to interpret body language during the negotiations. Make sure that you aren't conveying any negative body language.
