<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>9 Negotiation Tips All Women Should Know</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Martin P R Collins</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>Try: Instead of looking for opportunities to negotiate, most women tend to simply accept things as they are. You should know that when it comes to business, almost everything is negotiable-and all you have to do is try. Most negotiation tactics can be easily learned.<br />
<br />
Preparation is everything: When you come prepared, you are likely to have more confidence and conviction. Take the time to review trends, costs, statistics, or whatever other details you need to look into before stepping in the door. This works well in car negotiations as well.<br />
<br />
Watch your body language: Your words may be saying one thing, but your body language may just be saying something completely different. Your ability to keep direct eye contact will reflect your current level of engagement and focus. Sit up and maintain body language that shows that you are confident and that you need to be taken seriously.<br />
<br />
Don't be taken over by your emotions: Women are much more emotional than men by nature. Dirty negotiation tricks or bargaining tactics by your negotiation partner can easily bring out emotions such as anger, frustration, unhappiness, or even disbelief, and it's key to stay calm and learn to set these feelings aside. If you have to, ask for a quick break so you can re-compose yourself.<br />
<br />
Expect and master criticism: If you're negotiating for a higher salary or position, it's highly possible that criticism may come your way. Issues regarding your tardiness, short work hours or even work ethic may come up, and so you should anticipate these scenarios and formulate your responses ahead of time. The last thing you want is to come up with the perfect answer as you're driving home.<br />
<br />
Learn to say "no": Most women like to avoid situations of conflict and to keep everybody happy. Having said this, being liked must not be your main concern in a negotiation situation. Being an effective negotiator means knowing how and when to put your foot down and say "no".<br />
<br />
Know when to keep quiet: One of the most crucial negotiation skills is to keep quiet at two points: After you make your request, and after your counterpart answers. Do not even attempt to soften the blow or take back your request after you've already asked for it.<br />
<br />
Know how much you're worth: Many women unfortunately undervalue themselves very often. In salary negotiations, pre-determine how much you truly deserve, irrespective of whether you are an employee, contractor, or a supplier. If you are genuinely valued, they are likely to take you up on your offer. If they don't, say "thank you", walk away, and find someone who appreciates you better!<br />
<br />
Stick to who you are: An easy negotiation tip is to avoid choosing a bargaining style that makes you feel uncomfortable. If you're merely putting on an act, people may just see right through it and all is lost. If you want to be successful at any form of negotiation, it's important to be true to who you are.<br />
