Selecting furniture that is to be used in the office should be a task that requires caution and a lot of thinking. There are many factors to consider when choosing that chair for that impotant executive or that table for the conference room. Other factors to also consider is how much of the furniture to be selected would be able to withstand the rigorous demands of one’s particular job descriptions. Also, since most of one’s day is spent at work
The recommended structure for negotiations is:
• Establish the issues being negotiated
• Gather information
• Build a solution
Stage 1. Establish The Issues
Begin by agreeing an agenda for the negotiation i.e.
• What needs to be discussed and agreed?
• Who will be involved and what will be their role?
• What timescales are we working towards?
• What are the major issues that need to be agreed?
Many negotiators make the mistake of negotiating too quickly whereas skilled negotiators spend 20% more of their time asking questions and looking for alternatives.
Do be aware that professional buyers will want to gain your commitment on issues, such as: price, early on in the negotiation but you should never commit yourself to anything until you have established everything that is being negotiated.
Seasoned negotiators will often bring up an issue at the end of the negotiation, when you are vulnerable and likely to agree to a one sided (Lose-Win) concession, in order to conclude the deal. You can legislate for this ploy by asking the other side for their . “shopping list” before beginning the negotiation and refuse to accept any last minute additions to the list.
Issues will include things like price, delivery schedule, payment terms, packaging, quality of product, length of contract etc. At this stage issues are kept general and no concessions are made or agreements reached
Stage 2. Gather Information
This is a vital part of the negotiation and you need to remember that there are four kinds of information
• Information you have that you are willing to give to the other side
• Information you have that you are unwilling to give to the other side
• Information the other side has that they are willing to give you
• Information the other side has that they are unwilling to give you
You need to decide, before the negotiation, how much you are willing to share information and what your own information requirements are. This will set the climate for the negotiation and will determine the amount of trust that exists between both parties. Skilled negotiators are able to ask a range of open, closed and follow up questions and are able to listen effectively. They also wait until they have all their information requirements, before making concessions

In coaching clients, I have a tendency to see immediately when a client is using excuses, is complaining, resisting, or over-thinking an assignment. This usually means the client doesn’t want to move forward on a certain aspect of our work for whatever reason. When I press deeper, like I did this week with a client, I often get this:“I don’t want to feel like a used car salesman. So, I’d rather not do that assignment.”A

Stage 3. Build A Solution
Having gathered information the next stage is to begin to put together a solution. Usually this will take the form of the selling side putting forward a proposal, or opening bid. The opening bid should be ambitious, but defensible. You should always challenge an opening bid and refuse to let an unacceptable bid stay on the table
Typically, there will then be a process of bargaining, concessions will be traded and movement take place, until, hopefully, agreement is reached. Concessions should not be given away for free and you should be wary about conceding on issues for which you are not prepared.
A final tip: The very best negotiators always enter into negotiation with a “three position plan”
That is: Best Price, Realistic Price and Fallback Price – they never, ever accept less than their “Fallback Price”
