Getting To Yes - Preparation is the sign of the pro

Prepare, prepare, prepare.

Prepare your next negotiation and talk. Make up your mind what your interests are. What interests your counterpart has. Imagine options that satisfy both sides. Think about alternative for you and your counterpart to satisfy interests.

Preparation is a sign of the professional and it causes better results.
