Negotiation isn’t about winning…
It’s about co-creation.
Too often, we enter negotiations thinking it’s a battle.
But the best negotiators?
They create partnerships.
✔️ They listen deeply, not just to respond, but to uncover hidden interests.
✔️ They reframe rejection—a “no” is often just a request for more clarity.
✔️ They trade value, not ultimatums.
Concessions should feel like a step forward, not a loss.
The goal?
A deal where both parties feel they’ve gained something meaningful.
Because real power in negotiation comes not from forcing agreement, but from building trust.
What’s the best negotiation tactic you’ve learned?
