Getting To Yes - Insist on using objective criteria

Nobody wants to be take for a ride and you often meet twice in life. Thus, do not trick the other side AND shield yourself from getting tricked.

To shield yourself
- use fair and transparent standards and procedures
- never yield to pressure.

You give in once, you give in forever.
