Negotiating is a part of living; we do it all the time.

 

When you walk down a crowded street, you negotiate the path you take.

 

A couple negotiates their relationship before and during marriage.  Although you may not realise what's happening, for example, you take out the garbage tonight and I will do the dishes.

 

And of course of the negotiation is one of the skills developed by all savvy property investors and business people.

 

Over the years I've noticed that some people are very good at getting terrific deals. Most others simply get what the other party is willing to give.

 

What's the difference?  In my mind, it's that the first group knows how to negotiate.

 

It's actually more than that, they know how to influence and persuade others to do what they would like them to do.

 

So today I'd like to discuss the topic of negotiation, influence and persuasion with Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole.

 

In this conversation, we discuss the essential skills of negotiation, influence, and persuasion, emphasizing that life itself is a series of negotiations.

 

We explore the psychological aspects of negotiation, the importance of emotional detachment, and the power dynamics at play.

 

We also debunk common myths about negotiation, highlights common mistakes, and shares practical tips for becoming a better negotiator.
