For a lot of people, negotiation can seem a bit mystifying, and as a result, artful negotiation remains an under utilized skillset. When it comes to negotiation, you must be confident going in. Get to know who you are negotiating with on a personal level, and remember to some people it is not all about the money. This is why it is important to get to know the other side in any negotiation, feel out what is important to them in a deal. Always be open minded and think outside the box as there is more than one option to make a deal successful.
