Learning Objective:
Once you know you're in a negotiating situation, you need to gather information
about the other side's offer and use it to refine your own. Many negotiations come
unstuck simply because one side or the other doesn't listen, or check, or take the
time to clarify exactly what the other side are offering, or indeed what they
themselves are offering. This means that throughout a negotiation you should do
tons of listening, clarifying and checking. And when it comes your turn to put
over your case, you should use every skill you can muster to make sure they
understand.
Your overriding aim in any negotiation is to achieve the objectives you and your
constituents have set. There are other aims, such as getting a good deal and
improving your relationship with the other side. But getting what you want is
tops. Always keep this aim firmly in your sights and don't stop until you get it.

5. Get A BATNA.
There are five questions to ask yourself when preparing the setting for a
negotiation. They are: Who? (i.e. who is to take part and do what?); Where? (i.e.
our place or theirs?); When? (i.e. what is the time scale?); Why? (i.e. what are we
negotiating about?); and How? (i.e. how are we to present our case?).
TRUE or FALSE
Directions: Read and understand the statements. Write the word TRUE if the
statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is not correct. Write your
answer on your answer sheet.
1. When you prepare yourself mentally for negotiation, feel you owe them
anything.

Learning Objective:
Negotiating successfully
Negotiation is a process where two or more parties with different needs and goals
discuss an issue to find a mutually acceptable solution. In business, negotiation
skills are important in both informal day-to-day interactions and formal
transactions such as negotiating conditions of sale, lease, service delivery, and
other legal contracts.
Negotiating requires give and take. You should aim to create a courteous and
constructive interaction that is a win-win for both parties. Ideally a successful
negotiation is where you can make concessions that mean little to you, while
giving something to the other party that means a lot to them. Your approach
should foster goodwill, regardless of the differences in party interests.
A good negotiation leaves each party satisfied and ready to do business with each
other again.
This guide explains why negotiation is important, and outlines strategies and
tactics for negotiating well.

Your chosen strategy will depend on who you are negotiating with and the type of
relationship you have with them. For example, what level of cooperation and
common interest exists between you, and how will each party behave during the
negotiation? It will also depend on what you are negotiating, and the time frame
and setting you are negotiating in.
As well as choosing a strategy, you may wish to consider your approach to the
issue being negotiated. There are 3 key approaches to negotiations: hard, soft and
principled negotiation. Many experts consider the third option - principled
negotiation - to be best practice:

Learning Objective:
Never sure what to do with your hands or where to look? Your crossed legs
and habit of close-talking could be working against your words.
More than 55% of messages are conveyed through nonverbal cues like
gestures and posture, and studies have shown body language is a more accurate
gauge of someone’s true attitudes and intentions than their tone of voice or
words. Studies have shown that people are 80% more likely to retain information
that was communicated to them both orally and visually.
Gain the edge in negotiations with fantastic non-verbal and body language.
Tips to increase your rate of success and stay way ahead of the game.
1. Show Up On Time
As Woody Allen so aptly put it during his sudden rocketing to stardom with the
release of Annie Hall in 1977, “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” And it’s
true. The very first impression that you’ll make on a new client, potential boss, or
corporate adversary occurs before you step into the room or say a word.

Lateness damages the negotiation process in two ways: Firstly, it’s viewed as
discourteous (or even insulting) and implies incompetence and lack of integrity on
the part of the latecomer, making the other party irritated and less likely to want
to reach an agreement. Secondly, the anxiety you’ll no doubt experience at being
late will shatter the calm, focused, and confident demeanor that you’ll need to
summon if you’re to be successful in the negotiation itself. So give yourself a
fighting chance and show up on time.
Alright, you’ve arrived on time–well done! What’s next? The dreaded handshake.
A great deal has been written over the years on the art of the perfect handshake,
but you can forget all of it. The most and, really, only important thing about your
handshake is that you have one at all. Researchers at the University of Chicago
recently published a group of studies concluding that a handshake (any
handshake, even the floppy one from the guy down the hall) makes people feel
comfortable, promotes honesty, and increases the cooperative behaviors that lead
to deal making.
Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, explains his strategy for success at the poker table
as a parallel to business: “I learned that the most important decision I could
make was which table to sit at. This included knowing when to change tables.”
As much of your ability to set a positive tone for a successful negotiation rests on
keeping control of your body language, so does your intuition in responding to
the body language and non-verbal cues of your potential opponents before
choosing to engage with them. As Mr. Hsieh noted and any poker player will tell
you, the outcome of a game is often more than half decided when they make the
decision to sit down.
Shakespeare, famous with lovers the world over, spoke as much for
businessmen, politicians, and poker players when he wrote that “the eyes are the
windows of the soul.”
Indeed, eye contact is one of the single most powerful communication tools
between two people, as it conveys openness, sincerity, and trust.

Avoiding eye contact in a negotiation keeps a good rapport from developing. It
gives the other person the feeling that you’re being evasive or dishonest, both of
which make negotiating very difficult.
On the other hand, eye contact is so powerful that too much of it can be
threatening and seen as aggressive or intimidating. You should keep relatively
consistent eye contact, but remember that it’s natural to look away when
thinking or processing.
You don’t have to be a business tycoon to be familiar with the often unwelcome
effects your unintentional facial expressions can have on the outcome of a
discussion. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship has probably experienced
the feeling of sheer frustration when their partner stops short in the middle of a
conversation and says “What does that look mean?!”
Like it or not, in a negotiation setting your facial expressions will be under that
same microscope, so try to make sure that they enhance the positive verbal cues
that you’re giving. Take care not to frown or wrinkle your forehead worryingly and
take the opportunity to smile and nod in agreement whenever possible. Keep your
chin up, evoking positivity, and your eyes level. Remember, the other person will
be looking to see that your physical gestures mirror your words–keep them both
open and positive.
As you can imagine, such a situation completely disrupts the negotiation process.
It’s important for each party to feel that their personal space is being respected
and that they’re not being physically intimidated. A safe rule is to sit or stand at
least four feet away and study the other person to gauge their comfort level.
Just like you want the words that you’re saying to exude strength, confidence,
and calm during a negotiation, so should your body. If you’re constantly tapping
your fingers or feet, entwining your hands, or crossing and uncrossing your legs,
In the same vein, any level of crossed limbs or hands is going to be interpreted as
being negative and closed off, which won’t help you to elicit trust in any
negotiation. No one wants to talk to someone who seems to have already made up
their mind! So uncross your arms and legs and keep some distance between your
hands to appear open minded and ready to listen to others’ points of view.
8. Hands Down
Speaking of hands–they are incredibly expressive and can add a lot to your
communication. When negotiating, the general rule of thumb is to keep your
hands away from your face. Rubbing one’s face or head is generally seen as a
symptom of anxiety, and anxious is the last thing you want to appear.
Likewise, having your hands over your mouth or eyes signals that you may be in
the process of hiding or lying. Appear confident and truthful by keeping your
hands away from your face, unclenched, and open as much as you can.
Everyone, no matter the situation, wants to feel that their input has been heard,
respected, and considered before a counter move is made. However, the stress of
the negotiation, combined with your excitement and desire to get your point
across, can make you jumpy and overenthusiastic, rushing your words or even
talking over the other person. Listen closely to the other person, pause for a while
to show you are thinking about what they said, and keep your response slow and
calm. This conveys respect but confidence in your position.
People remember 10% of information that is provided to them orally and just 20%
of information that is provided to them visually. However, 80% of information
that is presented to a person both orally and visually is retained, meaning that
body language is just as important as being vocal.
Moreover, don’t be afraid to be silent for a short while, sparking the other
person’s insecurities. The effects may surprise you. As Lance Murrow advised,
“Never forget the power of silence, that massively disconcerting pause which goes
on and on and may at last induce an opponent to babble and backtrack
nervously.”

Learning Objective:
The most efficient way to gather information from someone is to ask open-ended
questions, i.e., questions that can be answered in a potentially infinite number of
ways. This will give the speaker a broad canvas to tell you what’s most important
to him or her.
But there is a place for closed-ended questions: They are effective in confirming
your grasp of what the other side has said. Closed-ended questions can also be
used to refine your comprehension of a certain point or to fill out details.
In combination, these two types of questions can be very effective. Often used in
deposition practice, the “funnel” technique starts off with open-ended, general
questions and gradually moves to more closed-ended, specific questions as you
obtain more information.
Here are some helpful questions to consider for use in your next negotiation:

Learning Objective:
We will look at the negotiation process which is made up of five steps. These
steps are described below;
Before the start of negations, one must be aware of the conflict, the history
leading to the negotiation the people involved and their perception of the
conflict expectations from the negotiations etc.
Once the planning and strategy are developed, one has to begin defining
the ground rules and procedures with the other party over the negotiation
itself that will do the negotiation. Where will it take place?
What time constraints, if any will apply? To what issues will negotiations be
limited? Will there be a specific procedure to follow in an impasse is
When initial positions have been exchanged both the parties will explain
amplify, clarify, bolster and justify their original demands. This need not be
confrontational.
This is the point where one party might want to provide the other party
with any documentation that helps support its position.
The essence of the negotiation process is the actual give and take in trying
to hash out an agreement, a proper bargain. It is here where concessions
will undoubtedly need to be made by both parties.
For major negotiations – this will require hammering out the specifics in a
formal contract.
Negotiation Process has five stages. In all steps of a negotiation process, the
involved parties bargain at a systematic way to decide how to allocate scarce
resources and maintain each other’s interest.

Learning Objective:
According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary the term decision making
means - the process of deciding about something important, especially in a group
of people or in an organization.
Any decisions taken at any level have to take into account the conflicting needs of
the individuals who are affected by the decisions and hence conflict resolution is
a part of the decision making process. How well the conflicts are resolved
depends on the skill and leadership traits of the decision maker.
After all, any decision that is taken is to balance competing interests and is
essentially an allocation of shared resources among the different groups. The
point here is that in any organization there are scarce resources that need to be
allocated among competing groups and hence the decision maker has to ensure
that all the needs and concerns of the different groups are taken into
consideration when making the decision.
Since most decisions involve some emotional component as well, the decision
makers have to be especially sensitive to the needs of the people who are affected
by the decisions.
Consensual decision making ensures that most concerns of the different groups
are heard and taken into account. However, in the real world organizations,
decision making by consensus might not be feasible since each group has its own
agendas. Hence the decision makers have to ensure that the decisions that they
take involve some amount of consultation and some amount of overriding the
individual agendas. The reason being that though individual concerns can be
taken into account, the decision makers have to keep the interests of the
organization in mind and hence proceed accordingly. This is needed so as to
prevent individuals and groups hijacking the decision making process with their
agendas.
In extreme cases when the competing groups do not agree or abide with the
decision, it is left to the higher-ups in the organization to play the role of
peacemakers. This is the process of appeal to the senior management as part of
the concerns and grievance redressal. This is an essential component of the
decision making process in organizations and only when there is active recourse
to appeal can true decision making work.
The meaning of decision in Latin is to ‘cut off’. This means that from all the
available alternatives you choose one thing and then cut off from all the other

alternatives. Due to this, the decision making process sometimes becomes very
difficult. Choosing the right option from all the available alternatives is very hard
to do.
Decision making process requires thinking process, time, efforts, resources and
also a little bit of knowledge and past experiences. Thinking process plays an
important role in decision making process because it allows you to judge each
and every thing. Timing is also important.
Taking right decisions on right time can save you from any trouble. Taking too
little time to take decisions or taking too much time to execute your decision can
cause many problems for you. Decision making processes also requires
knowledge, experience and research. If you have knowledge, you can find out
different alternatives for the problem faced. Making decisions without having
proper knowledge about the problem can cause difficulties.
Decision making power is the key to progress in life. You might have seen many
people who do not take proper decisions and then they have to suffer. On the
other hand people who have this decision making power, continues to progress in
their life. Not all of us have this decision making power. We try to make right
decisions but sometimes we make mistakes because we don’t know the steps that
we should follow during the decision making process. So in order to take right
decisions, it is important that we should know all the steps of decision making
process and follow them.

Learning Objective:
Successful retailers don't just sell products. Today, quality customer service may
be what differentiates a company from its rivals. Retailers with poor customer
service risk losing revenues, profits and even going out of business.
But retail pros know that they're going to be dealing with angry customers, the
very customers who make offering high-quality service difficult. Here are a few
different types of angry customers and how to deal with them as a customer
service representative.
Angry
Impatient
Intimidating
Talkative
Demanding
Indecisive
First, realize you can't control anyone else's behavior. You have control only over
your own actions. But you can influence how customers respond to you to some
degree.
Before you offer solutions, ask the customer how he would like the problem to be
resolved. Offer choices whenever possible. ("Would you prefer to speak to the
manager, or wait until I can finish ringing up these customers' purchases so I
can give you more time?")
Get Control of Yourself: Never argue with customers when they are angry,
displeased or complaining. If you allow a customer to push your buttons
and lose control of yourself, you've lost control of the situation. Remember,
you can lose a good customer if you show boredom, irritation, disdain or
displeasure.
Listen and Let the Customer Vent: Tune in to the customer; don't look
for the nearest exit. The customer wants to be listened to, acknowledged
and understood. Maintain eye contact. Show your attentiveness by
standing or sitting up straight; lolling or slouching makes you seem
inattentive and disinterested. Uncross your arms -- this indicates you are
listening with an open mind. Let the person talk, and pay close attention.
Repeat or paraphrase some of what you hear.
Show the Customer You Care: Show concern for the customer's feelings.
Maintain a concerned, sincere and interested facial expression. Your voice,
as well as your body language and expression, communicates your
attitude. People respond more to how you say something than what you
say.
Don't Blame the Customer or the Company: When explaining your
store's policy or trying to clarify what went wrong, use either the indirect
approach ("There are a few questions before I can give you a refund.") or "I"
statements ("I need additional information.") as much as possible. Don't
acknowledge that you or your company is to blame. That could lead to
lawsuits.
Try to Solve the Problem, or Get Someone Who Can: Even if solving the
customer's problem isn't among your job duties, never say this to the
customer. Get all the facts you can, and then tell the customer how you
can help.
Finally, don't make promises you can't keep. Get help from someone who
knows more, is calmer, or has more power and authority.
TRUE or FALSE
Directions: Read and understand the statements. Write the word TRUE if the
statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is not correct. Write your
answer on your answer sheet.
1. When explaining your store's policy or trying to clarify what went wrong,

2. You can lose a good customer if you show boredom, irritation, disdain or
displeasure.

Learning Objective:
Interpersonal skills are those qualities that bring out the best in people you work
or live with.
These skills are considered very important when you are working with many
people – for many hours each day.
To some extent maybe, but technically, interpersonal skills are ingrained into our
personalities.
Learning to listen
• Choosing your words carefully
• Understanding why communication fails
• Clarifying when issues occur
• Empathizing
• Understanding stress
• Negotiating
Once you know all these, you will have little problem in exercising your
interpersonal skills. Some examples of good interpersonal skills include:
Verbal Communication
What you say and how you say things makes a lot of difference in how people
perceive you.
Non-verbal Communication
How you communicate your feeling through your body language can have both
positive and negative effects on people around you.
Listening Skills
This puts you on the other side of the table – how you interpret the verbal and
non-verbal messages sent to you by other people, can define your relationship
with them.
Negotiation
Arguing doesn’t help anyone. Finding a mutually agreeable outcome on an issue
is a great and much-needed skill in any individual.
Problem Solving
Instead of fretting, when a problem shows its ugly face, working with others to
identify the source and mutually resolving it.
Decision Making
No matter on which end of the employment table you are, no one likes people who
have trouble making decisions. Analyzing options to determine sound outcomes
is an important skill.
