Confidence is key in negotiations, and preparation is the foundation of confidence. Research all aspects of the negotiation, from the other party’s likely interests and constraints to the minutiae of what you’re negotiating for. Prepare your talking points, anticipate counterarguments, and plan your responses. The more prepared you are, the more confident you'll feel, which inherently strengthens your negotiation position.
