Negotiate with Confidence

Counteroffers & Concessions

Giving unnecessary concessions in response to a counteroffer can weaken your position and undermine your negotiating power. However, by learning simple yet effective techniques for responding to counteroffers, you can stay in control and achieve your goals with confidence and clarity.

Recognize and Avoid Common Mistakes

Extreme Estimating

Extreme estimating can be a costly mistake that occurs when you base your estimates on invalid assumptions or incomplete information. This can lead to underestimating your position, which can have negative consequences such as lost revenue or missed opportunities. By learning how to recognize and avoid extreme estimating, you can ensure that your estimates are accurate and reliable.

Pressure Tactics

The goal of pressure tactics is to make you feel vulnerable and off-balance, so that you make decisions that are not in your best interest. By learning to recognize and prepare for these tactics, you can regain control of the situation and respond with confidence and clarity.

Penny’s Philosophy

With over 20 years of global in-the-trenches experience, I have found one fundamental requirement for any negotiation.

“Be the MOST prepared person in the negotiation conversation.”

It’s simple, but not easy. Power in negotiation is not about domination. It’s about preparation, considering more than just the dollars of the deal. Be consistent with how you prepare, and you can successfully negotiate under any circumstance.
