Negotiation = Gambling And what starting salary were you looking for? I’d like to start around $185,000 per year, depending on your benefits package
Negotiation = Gambling What would you say to a package of four weeks’ vacation, 20 paid holidays, company matching retirement up to 30 percent of your salary, and a new company car every two years…say, a brand-new BMW? Wow! Are you kidding?

Negotiation = Gimmicks or Appearances “When you are about to plead not guilty, choose a winter-white suit to highlight your innocence.” “Trump wants you on “The Apprentice.” Make sure to dress louder than the other contestants.”

Lesson #2: Do not keep score Negotiation is not a game!

Lesson #5: Do not hard-sell (unless you detect a serious psychopathology on the other side)

Lesson #6: Know their needs Needs are painful (one needs to satisfy them)
