Parking Spot is Taken

Parking Spot is Taken

You have an appointment with a doctor in a crowded neighborhood.
You and your wife have just reached the location and also found a suitable place for parking. Another car is moving out from the parking lot and you wait to take the space.
While you wait, suddenly a car comes out of nowhere and parks in the just vacated space. You are angry. You notice that two heavy looking persons are in the car and preparing to come out.
Finding a second spot will take time and you will miss the doctor appointment. What do you do?

Negotiation is an important life skill

We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.

If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.

“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
