ABSTRACT
What is the secret to becoming a skilled negotiator? Practice, practice, and more practice. Each day gives numerous opportunities to practice the art of negotiation. Start practicing with simple situations like garage sales, a family conflict, a minor work problem, or resolution of a problem with a roommate. You can then quickly apply the skills to situations that have more impact on your everyday and business life. These might include buying a car, asking for a raise, convincing customers to buy from your company, or getting the budget for your department increased.
