The word negotiation tends to elicit one of two responses in people:
- Excitement to get the very best deal possible
- Fear of conflict or confrontation.
We often think of negotiations in terms of life-or-death hostage situations or fast-talking street market scenarios. But high-pressure, back and forth negotiation almost never happens in business, as that kind of intense negotiation results in bad feelings and even worse deals.
