Within the last two weeks we have discussed a large majority of new topics one that I enjoyed talking about was negotiating. Negotiating is“When two or more parties need to reach a joint decision but have different preferences, they negotiate.” This something we frequently do daily which is why I loved doing this topic especially because it’s not like someone really taught me how to do this but it came naturally as I began to grow up, however the reading does say most people aren’t born natural negotiators my parents have told me that from a baby this is something I always did . I negotiate with my parents for lots of things specifically when it comes to be rewarded for doing something. For instincts my parents think that I should just get good grades without being rewarded but i’ll say things like well if I receive an A in a certain course can I get whatever I may be asking for and to them this seems like a fair trade because although they know I am going to pass all my classes an A is aiming higher then just a regular passing grade like a B perhaps. The thing about negotiating is how much its helped in my work place I have dealt with so many different clients at my job who always want specific things if we don’t have what they may want in that very moment this is where my negotiating skills may come into play. For instincts the first day of spring break I had a client who wanted a certain type of chicken that was no longer being served so to negotiate with her I said I am sorry mam we no longer have that but the ones we do have are just as good in fact maybe better in my opinion, even though I was aware I wasn’t being completely honest I still got her to take the chicken.
