start the negotiation and never make the first offer

listen carefully,listening skills are vital,never give what is of value to you ,only give what is of value to the other side and of less value to you

never close against time, if you dont have time don't close,don't let them squeese you against time or some other matter like make the sale or you will miss your target.

Number one rule is listen - probably the most difficult to learn and master as negotiators think that talking is what is required.  Listening allows you to build your repertoire of responses and counter with valuable insight to close the deal.  Secondly, welcome awkward silence.  It is often said that whomever speaks first loses.  After presenting your side of the negotiation wait for the reponse - sometimes this is difficult but hold out.  Third, always be prepared by knowing your position, your product and the person/company sitting accross from you.
