more money? more flexibility? better opportunities? access to broader markers? make a list of those things you would like to receive as a result of the negotiations .refine and prioritize your list before starting the negotiation. the list and the one created above will allow you know what your true “bottom line” is.your “adversary” in this context is the other party in the negotiation. your relationship with this party may not normally be described as adversarial, but for the purposes of this discussion we will view the negotiation as an adversarial relationship. put yourself in your adversarys shoes. what would they like to gain from the negotiation? write down as many possible goals as you can think of. prioritize your list in the order that you believe your adversary would. identify the items you are willing to negotiate and those items which are non-negotiable.2 selecting high qualities for negotiators as a negotiator, you must know the relevant knowledge of the negotiations. you must know that government regulations and corporate specifications make technical requirements a key part of negotiations. in addition, you must possess a wide variety of technical, social, communication, and ethical skills.as a negotiator, you must be shrewd, resourceful, patient, adaptable, humor. great importance should be attached to the psychological training of negotiators, to make them psychologically ready for facing and standing various pressures. the cn must be highly organized in order to effectively handle the vast number of problems that will inevitably arise. the cn must be able to select, motivate, and control a team operating under high-stress conditions. he also must be able to arrange and rearrange schedules, as well as oversee staff in difficult circumstances.3 draw out negotiate goal, definitude negotiate finally intentionto give in the bound is the most important on preparation. and the pr price is often the most sensitive issue in business negotiations. by presenting a more comprehensive negotiating package in a well-planned and organized manner, exporters should be able to improve the effectiveness of their business discussions and in the long term the profitability of their export operations.if the importer does not accept the price ,the exporter should react positively by initiating discussions on non-price questions ,instead of immediately offering price concessions or taking a defensive attitude .widening the issues and exploring the real reasons behind the objections to the price quoted will put the talks on a more equal and constructive footing.4 frame the negotiation strategy every negotiation has nits characteristic, requiring special strategy and correspond tactics. negotiator who firstly gives in is considered to locate the lankiness at some things, and to lead the opponent clamp down to get the more concession. however the same action is regarded as o signal of requesting report in another circumstance. taking cooperate strategy make the both sides build the warm business connection in international trade. but one purity cooperative relation isnt unrealistic. when the opponent is seeking the most interest, they should adopt some competitive strategies. so to adopt cooperative and competitive strategy makes the negation end favorably. third: making a negotiation strategy may avoid some fierce confliction the direct way of negotiation is to get an agreement or contact which can be accepted by both sides. we call the persons who negotiate with us opponents, and both sides are always trying to get their interests being maximized, but more important relation for both sides is to corporate with each other. temporary confrontation is for corporation, so using some strategy is indispensable during a negotiation. we have to avoid some fierce confliction, because getting into deadlock means failure to both sides of the negotiation.1 the way of cold and warmif you are the boss of a company, youd better to assign two persons to take part in the negotiation. one should be tough and direct and just ask the most sensitive issues without any scruples while the other should be affable and tolerant. maybe the corporation of the two can play an unimaginable role in the negotiation.2 delay and roundaboutsometimes, during a negotiation one may encounter such situation: the opponent is domineering and aggressive. you had better to delay negotiation time and talk with him slowly, with time passed by, he would feel tired and lost energy and now you can change your defensive situation to be offensive to win the negotiation finally.3 leave space for other usingduring a negotiation, even if you can accept all of the requirements of opponents, dont nod your head at once. you can accept most of his or her requirements firstly and leave some to be the capital for the following bargaining.4 take retreat as attacklet your opponents to say the first word, meanwhile, you should listen carefully to get his or her flaws. sometimes retreat on some unimportant matters to make your oppon
