The Five Ps of Negotiating. Preparation  - Examine the needs of both parties and all of the  relevant external factors affecting the negotiation before you sit  down to talk. Poise  - Remain calm during the negotiation.  Never raise your voice or lose your temper, even if the  situation gets difficult or emotional. It’s better to walk away and calm  down than to blow up and blow  the deal. Persuasiveness  - Know what your most important positions are, articulate them, and offer support for your position. Persistence  - Don’t give in at the first sign of resistance to your position, especially if it is an issue  that ranks high in your list of priorities.  Patience  - Don’t be in such a hurry to close the deal that you end up giving up much of what  you hoped to get. Impatience is a major weakness in  a negotiation.

Editor's Notes

  1. This "Deco" border was drawn on the Slide master using PowerPoint's Rectangle and Line tools. A smaller version was placed on the Notes Master by selecting all of the elements (using Select All from the Edit menu), deselecting the unwanted elements such as the Title (holding down the Shift key and clicking on the unwanted elements), and then using Paste as Picture from the Edit menu to place the border on the Notes Master. After pasting as a picture, we used the resize handles (with Shift to maintain the proportions) to reduce it to the size you see. Be sure to delete this word processing box before using this template for your own presentation.
