Successful negotiations - 7 easy steps

Whether you covet a new job, a raise, a business deal, a new car, some new bling, or need to rectify a problem with a loved one, the ability to play ‘deal maker’ is your secret weapon to achieving the result you want. In my opinion, one of the greatest strengths of very successful business people is their ability to out negotiate with others to achieve their desired result. Negotiating doesn’t need to be back and forth, point-counterpoint banter. I’ve found that the most proficient negotiators manage these conversations in such a way that the other party likely does not even know they are engaged in a bargaining process. The bottom line is simple: if there is something you want that is in someone else’s control, knowing how to negotiate will stack the odds in your favor. The key is to be tough but fair.

1. First and foremost, be prepared to walk away. This is single most
important strategy to getting what you want out of life. If you aren’t prepared to
say, “No” and mean it; then you are likely to end up settling for a lesser
outcome. Before entering into the negotiation, know in advance exactly what you
are and are not willing to concede, so that you do not need to process this
information on-the-fly without adequate time to weigh the pros and cons of
each.

2. Know when to forego all together. A good deal comes together quickly – a
bad deal takes way too long. Take a clue from the amount of time it’s taking to
get what you want. If you have to “force it,” chances are it will come back to bite
you later on.

3. Deal at the right level. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to do a deal
with an individual who can’t make the final decision. It’s like negotiating against
yourself – you address an issue and try to come to a conclusion and then the
other person takes that to someone else “behind the scenes” only to come back
and say it can’t be done on those terms. It’s far more efficient and effective to
find the right person to negotiate with directly, “(wo)mano y (wo)mano.”

4. Due diligence to come prepared. The more information you have
surrounding the circumstances of your endeavor, the “marketplace,” for example,
the more likely you are to not only prevail, but also get the best deal possible.
While you may actually prevail by shooting in the dark, not knowing the extent of
the opportunity could result in your leaving a lot on the table. Whether it’s the
average pay for a given job, the price typically paid for a product or a service, or
who you are in competition with for a new position – knowledge is truly power.

5. Don’t take anything personally. To maintain objectivity, treat every
negotiation as if you are doing a deal for someone else who has hired you as the
professional “closer.” When you allow yourself to get emotionally involved,
rational thought often goes by the wayside and you’re far more likely to concede
to your later regret. Cool heads get the best, and most, out of what they are
seeking.

6. Anticipate objections. Prior to the negotiation, brainstorm all the reasons or
objections that may prevent you from getting what you want – and prepare a
thoughtful counterpoint for each, one at a time. During a negotiation, people
conjure all sorts of reasons why something can’t be done, many of which are
often bogus. Until you know the valid sticking point, you are just spinning your
wheels.

7. Don’t underestimate Karma. What goes around indeed comes around. The
best deal is one where both parties walk away feeling positive about the result of
the negotiation. The worst deal is that where one side leaves the table feeling

SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR

"All warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when capable pretend to be incapable; when active, inactive; when near, make the enemy believe that you are far away; when far away, that you are near."
"Hold out baits to lure the enemy; feign disorder and strike him. When he has the advantageous position, prepare against him; when he is strong, avoid him. If he is prone to choleric temper, irritate him."
"Victory is the main objective in war. If this is long delayed, weapons will be blunt and the ardour of the soldiers will be dampened."
"Fighting to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the supreme skill. However to the enemy's resistance without fighting is the supreme skill."
"A general is like the spoke of a wheel. If the connection is tight and complete, the wheel will be strong and so will the state; if the connection is defective, then the state will be weak." - to make decision, you MUST have a lot of CONCRETE data/information.
"If you know yourself and know your enemy; in a hundred battles you will never fear the result. When you you know yourself but not your enemy, your chances of winning and losing are equal. If you know neiher yourself nor your enemy, you are certain to be in danger in every battle."

wow...The Coffee-Table PC!!

Nice gadget just release by Microsoft..

Microsoft has been looking beyond the desktop for sometime now, but with the launch of "Milan," the company is showing the potential for so-called "surface computing" to revolutionize everything from retail kiosks to the common coffee table. At its core, Milan is a PC running Windows Vista, but don't expect to use it with a keyboard and mouse. Instead, Milan uses a touch-sensitive display that enables multiple users to navigate the system's interface. See how it works!

Milan will start appearing in commercial locations at the end of this year (think casinos), but PC Magazine was able to sit down with Microsoft executives for a hands-on demo of the new system. The demo unit we saw looked a lot like a coffee table, but you won't want to put your feet up on this system; it was made for touching..read more

Fantastic four 2 Rise of silver surfer trailer

this movie sure can beat spiderman 3 on movie rank list

Who is Silver Surfer?The Silver Surfer is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby,who first appeared in the comic book Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966), in what is popularly known as the "Galactus Trilogy".

The Surfer was originally Norrin Radd, a young astronomer of the planet Zenn-La who agreed to serve as herald to the god-like entity, Galactus, in order to save his home planet from destruction. He was granted enormous powers after being imbued by a small portion of the Power Cosmic, a silvery appearance and a surfboard-like vehicle — all of which were modeled after a childhood fantasy of his. The Silver Surfer then roamed the cosmos searching for new planets for Galactus to consume.

The Silver Surfer encountered the Earth superhero team called the Fantastic Four who helped him rediscover his humanity. He betrayed Galactus, thereby saving Earth, and was then punished by being doomed to exile on Earth.

Sony's big little DAV-IS10 home theater system

Yeah, that satellite is freaky small and just a part of Sony's micro DAV-IS10 home theater system. Their 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box features 5 of the tiny speakers matched with a sub offering 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system features Sony's new BRAVIA Theater Sync technology for communicating with BRAVIA panels over HDMI and should be easy to setup with the help of Sony's Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) optimization tech. The systems' 720p/1080i upscaling DVD/CD player features touch-sensitive controls and a Digital Media Port for attaching accessories such as the TDM-NC1 WiFi audio streamer, TDM-BT1 for Bluetooth streaming, and TDM-IP1 iPod dock. A pretty swank little system when it hits in July for $800.

Meizu's M6 se nano-thin with video and FM tuner for less than $100

If you're a fan of Meizu's audio gear then you'll be stoked at this, the skinny Meizu M6se. At just 7-mm (0.28-inches) thin, it extracts the bulk from the original M6 while remaining true (for good or for bad) to the original design and control. In case you're keeping track (and we know you are) the new M6 packs an extra 0.5-mm (0.02-inches) of negligible chub compared to its famously slim iPod nano competitor. Yet it packs a relatively massive 2.4-inch QVGA display and FM tuner. You can still expect support for all the MP3, WAV, OGG audio and AVI video you can stuff into its 8GB of flash for an incredibly cheap $130. Right, that's about half the cost of the 8GB nano assuming the price remains the same when these hit domestic markets. So if you buy on price and specs vs. emotional appeal and a friendly ecosystem, well, you'll want to keep an eye on that August ship date.

Breaks the sound barrier

for all of you who have never personally seen the sound barrier, feast your eyes on the pictures.

This phenomenon only happens at the instant an Aircraft breaks the sound barrier

And it literally appears like the aircraft goes through a wall.
