Business Know-How Q & A (TM)

Learning to Get the Best Deal
by Janet Attard

Dear Janet,

I feel like I always come out with the short end of the stick in business deals. Do you know of any books or articles I could read that would help?

--Timid in FL

Dear Timid,

You're not alone. Many people are uncomfortable negotiating deals. Fortunately, the ability to negotiate isn't a trait you have to be born with. Negotiation skills can be learned.

There are a variety of books and audio tapes that can help. A good one to start with is Negotiating for Dummies, by Michael C.and Mimi Donaldson (IDG Books). It is a basic guide that will teach you six essential steps to successful negotiating. It also offers a variety of tips and hints for common situations, as well as recommendations for additional reading if you still want to learn more when you finish the book.
