About this ebook
We'll discuss many highly-effective negotiation tactics that enable you to get the best possible deal for yourself while also building a strong and trusting working relationship with the other party. You'll secure yourself a number of happy long-term business partners.
While some negotiation tactics use strength, the most effective tactics use intelligence, strategy, and finesse. Here's why: The most crucial skill for you to have - as a negotiator - is the ability to make the other party feel they've won the negotiation and obtained a great outcome - even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. You want the other party to be willing to do business with you again in the future, and also to give you great reviews, references, and referrals.
To accomplish the objectives above, you'll learn negotiation tactics that combine timeless relationship building skills, scientifically proven principles of influence and persuasion, and the best strategies from The Art of War by Sun Tzu - the classic 2,000-year-old Chinese military strategy book. You'll ensure the other party feels they've been treated fairly and obtained a great outcome, even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself.
The truth is, all that's necessary to get the results you want is for you to do a few basic fundamentals really well. Doing the basic fundamentals really well is always the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to get excellent results. Don't waste time on trendy advice that quickly fizzles out. Instead, learn timeless fundamentals that will always be relevant.
You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.

Understanding What’s Behind the Word ‘No’
In negotiations, people say ‘no’ for a variety of reasons. If you simply accept their ‘no,’ which could mean the negotiation is over, that would be a missed opportunity to build a productive long-term working relationship with the other party. Also, even if you don’t lose the entire deal, if you don’t understand the situation from the other party’s point of view, you would not have as thorough of an understanding of the other party’s true thoughts and feelings. That lack of understanding would prevent you from having as close and trusting of a relationship with the other party as you would if you understood their true thoughts and feelings.
Therefore, you’re going to have to do some digging to find the true reason behind the ‘no.’
Some people are shy or self-conscious. Other people try to be overly polite. The other party might also be hesitant to tell you the real reason behind the ‘no’ for fear of hurting your feelings. Therefore, people won’t always be direct and tell you exactly why they do not agree with you or why they do not want to accept your offer or proposal. It can be easier for them to simply say ‘no’ rather than to have the courage to say what they truly think.
The other party might also have a subconscious uncomfortable feeling about the deal they can’t explain in words. For some reason, they just don’t feel right about the deal. In that case, the other party might simply tell you ‘no’ because they’re not able to put into words what is stopping them from moving forward.
In any of the above scenarios, if you simply accept the other party telling you ‘no,’ you would be negotiating blind because you would be unaware of their true thoughts and feelings. You could be missing a valuable opportunity to build a productive long-term working relationship with the other party. You could also be missing an opportunity to develop a close and trusting relationship by understanding the other party’s true thoughts and feelings.
Therefore, to be an effective negotiator, keep the negotiation going, understand the situation from the other party’s point of view, build a close and trusting relationship, and reach an agreement, you need to do a bit of work to find out what’s behind the ‘no.’
The word ‘no’ is often a substitute for one of the following:
I don’t yet feel comfortable dealing with you specifically.
I don’t yet feel comfortable dealing with your company specifically.
I don’t yet feel comfortable with your product specifically.
I fear unknowns and uncertainty so I’m hesitant to make a change.
I’m waiting for some unrelated other event to occur before I make a decision on this issue.
I’m interested in one of your competitor’s goods or services.
I’m loyal to another good or service provider — even if their product isn’t as good.
I don’t need the good or service, or nonmonetary item, or event urgently right now.
I don’t yet feel comfortable making this decision.
I need more information before I’m ready to make a decision.
It would require too much time and money to switch from our current solution.
I’m hesitant because, if this deal doesn’t have an excellent outcome, I’ll get fired.
I’m too cheap to pay for a high-quality product when I can get garbage for free on the Internet.
If I said yes, my life partner would kill me — or maybe just divorce me.
I’m on a bandwagon using the same one as my friends because I don’t have the confidence to make my own decisions and do my own thing.
The above is just a short list. There could be many other reasons why the person is saying ‘no.’ Therefore, when you hear the word ‘no,’ you have to do some digging to find out what’s behind the ‘no.’
Now, if you’re a mere mortal, you’re not able to read the other person’s mind. So, you might be thinking, How could I possibly find out what’s behind the ‘no?’
Well, you’re in luck, because, despite the significant disadvantage of being a mere mortal, it’s incredibly easy to find the information you seek. You need only ask a few basic questions to find out what’s behind the ‘no.’ And, if you’re part of the 99% of the human population who can’t remember the exact age of many of their family members, you’re in luck, because these questions could not be easier to remember. You might even have an elementary school song that you can sing to help you remember.
All you need to do is ask a question starting with the most relevant of the following words:
Who
What
Where
When
Why
How
There are many questions you could ask beginning with the above words. The specific questions you’ll ask vary depending upon the specific topics over which you’re negotiating. So, since every negotiation is unique, I cannot give you the exact questions you’ll need to ask during your particular negotiation. However, it’s incredibly easy to get the information you seek. All you need to do is
