Here's how you can set yourself up for a successful negotiation in your early career.

In my opinion everyone should have done a negotiation training before starting their careers. The basics are easy to learn and the benefits are huge. Starting a new job, make sure what you are worth in the marketplace. There are many sources in the internet, but ask some people form the sector as well. Remember that it is not all about money. When you negotiate with HR it is also about relationship with your future employer. Never the less, the starting salary matters. Raises from the wrong base are difficult to overcome in later years. Be flexible with alternatives to monetary compensation. Always be kind, factual and charming.

There are 3 basic elements to prepare prior to a negotiation: 1) Identify what generates value for your client or counterparty 2) Establish the BATNA to evaluate the best alternative to a negotiated agreement. It helps us identify what our best course of action is if we do not reach an agreement. 3) ZOPA It is the Zone of possible agreement. It helps us identify the range of possible agreements acceptable to both parties.

1. Research Thoroughly: Gather detailed information about the company, industry, and counterpart to understand their needs and priorities. 2. Prepare Your Case: Clearly outline your objectives, strengths, and the value you bring to the table. 3. Practice Active Listening: Pay close attention to the other party’s concerns and interests to identify common ground. 4. Build Rapport: Establish a positive relationship and trust with the counterpart to facilitate a collaborative negotiation atmosphere. 5. Be Confident and Assertive: Present your case confidently and be prepared to advocate for your interests while remaining open to compromise.

Es básico conocerse a uno mismo y saber cuáles son sus mejores cualidades para obtener las mejores calificaciones o aceptación en el medio en el que se quiere incursionar. Debes estar convencido de tu potencialidad, para que se refleje naturalmente.

Es indispensable y hasta estratégico, prepararse adecuadamente. Es necesario anticipar los limites en lo que estas dispuesto a conseguir. No debes quedarte sin respuestas justificadas para cada propuesta o contrapropuesta. Debes anticipar el posible escenario de la negociación.

Prepare the typical interview questions that you will be asked. Practice them. Try to anticipate why they ask you the questions, what they want to hear. Go into your negotiations with a strong BATNA. This will lead to more assertive discussions and better outcomes. Hence, don't only talk to one company but have alternative offers.

You will have to build good rapport with many people when entering the business world. The rules are easy. Be kind, charming and interested in the other side. Never be emotional, but be humorous and factual. Act like an adult. Ask questions regarding the needs and wants of the other side and make clarifying remarks to check if you have understood everything correctly. Don't brag, be honest and self-reflective. Do this and you will rock any interview or first impressions you have to make.

Establishing a good rapport with the person you're negotiating with can make a significant difference. People are indeed more inclined to reach an agreement with someone they like and trust. Starting by finding common ground and showing genuine interest in their perspective is essential. It's important to be sincere and not manipulative; the goal is to create a positive atmosphere where both parties feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and concerns. This approach fosters mutual respect and understanding, which are crucial for successful and collaborative negotiations.

Tu posición no puede ser antagónica, sino armoniosa, para lograr un mejor y más fácil acercamiento con tu contraparte, sin que ello implique claudicar en tus principios o propósitos. Tu posición puede ser firme pero con la apertura para el acuerdo.

Por diversos fatores, uma comunica??o clara e assertiva pode ser um desafio para quem está no início de carreira. Dentre eles, podemos destacar o nervosismo de negociar com profissionais mais experientes e superiores hierarquicamente. Além da prepara??o prévia, gosto de destacar a importancia de respirar lentamente durante a negocia??o, pois dessa forma poderá ter mais controle emocional e, assim, conseguirá organizar melhor as ideias e as palavras para se expressar com clareza e assertividade.

Hay que expresarse con claridad y precisión para evitar malos entendidos o incomprensiones. El lenguaje debe ser sencillo, no complejo ni rebuscado.

La firmeza en la posición no debe implicar falta de apertura en la posibilidad de un acuerdo para llevar adelante la negociación, este factor es esencial, pues de lo contrario no se llegara a conciliar las posiciones de las partes en el objetivo común. Aceptar alternativas de solución, siempre será más practico y dará mejores resultados, que solo negarlas.

Negotiations are full of surprises. What you should do is prepared, plan and strategise. Try to minimise the surprises. Or atleast be prepared for when they arise. In the early career, you are setting the tone of how other negotiators who you may be likely to work with or against in the future. Keep it in consideration, and focus on creating value
