Some people only had to ask for what is in it for them and forever have changed their lives.
This is simply what I call NEGOTIATION.
A story was once told of a young man who had no job after 16 years of graduation from the University.
But gladly, he kept himself busy for these 16 years learning something.
He was learning how to read and write for the press.
During this period, he kept sending his articles to various media homes.
None of these companies paid him a dime for once.
One day, 16 years later to be precise.
A man who had been following his various issues (articles) called the media home and asked to have an audience with the writer.
The meeting afterward, heralds a new beginning for a one time jobless but busy guy.
He found his way as a special adviser to the President of the country.
When he was interviewed few years after resigning and setting up his own media company that has since become a touchstone for many media practitioners, he said – “For 16 years, I was learning to be the best in what I do today and when merit came, someone found me.”
This is simply to say that people pay for your skills but then you need to negotiate for what you want to be paid.
Negotiation is not just about having a meeting point between two people with interests.
It is about exchanging one thing for another.
It is saying, I have the money… But I don’t have the comfort.
Can you give me the comfort and I will pay you for it per hour?
Alright….. This is a very important topic for all business owners or if you are already spending money.
We must understand that each day of our lives, we are negotiating for one thing or another.
We are negotiating for our comfort.
We are negotiating for a pay package
We are negotiating for skills acquired
We are negotiating for the lives of our loved ones
We are negotiating for our health
We are negotiating for a good and sound sleep
We are negotiating for good sight and feels
Just about anything you go out to do is about negotiation.
What most people don’t understand is the fact that for the things they pay for, someone had negotiated it with them.
For example, If I pay for a rental, I have simply negotiated for rent that is worth the amount of money I paid for. But not just that, for the comfort of me and my family.
For my health, if that’s part of my consideration while choosing the apartment.
The point here is simple.
While you are interested in creating income or making a good life for you.
Always take into consideration your negotiation skills and power.,
And for every business owner.
It takes a good negotiator to succeed in business.
Start learning the arts of negotiation.
And you will be happy for every deal you get involved in.
