Mercruiser 1970 120hp

you make your customers see all the colors? Better negotiate

In that case, why not use the "method of color" ?

This method is based on the results of research conducted by American psychologist William Marston (1893-1947) who published in 1928 "Emotions of normal people " .

Marston distinguishes four profiles in individuals: Dominant, Influential, Steady, Compliant (DISC). Each profile is assigned a color: red, yellow, green, blue.
Note: no color is superior to another. Each individual (customer) with a color has strengths and weaknesses.

on this assumption, a trade negotiator led even formed can easily guess the color of the caller and adapt its behavior.

RED
  • His behavior: Dominant
  • Its values: materialism and individualism
  • Its engine: the challenges
  • Her main emotion: anger
  • Tactics to adopt: be factual, go to the essentials, quickly conclude by giving your partner the feeling that it decides.
THE YELLOW
  • His behavior: Influential
  • Its values: harmony and beauty
  • Its engine: human contacts
  • Her main emotion: joy
  • Tactics to be adopted: let your partner express themselves, develop a friendly attitude, do not clutter the technical details but focus on innovation, in case of crop digression politely.
GREEN
  • His behavior: Stable
  • Its values: humanitarian
  • Its engine: cooperation
  • His main emotion: sadness
  • Tactics to be adopted: win his confidence, but be patient directive.
BLUE
  • His behavior: Conformist
  • Its values: intellect and tradition
  • Its engine: the search for rational solution
  • His main emotion: fear
  • Tactics to adopt: Do not try to make a friend, bring a lot of written material, reassure your partner with numbers, graphics, technical aspects.
In conclusion: A psychological approach simple and fun who knows a true success in business.

Causes For Blisters On Butt



Among all methods of preparation for trade negotiations, it is one that deserves particular that one is interested.

First, because it has a rather strange name: atrocious.

other hand (and especially!) Because it makes good sense.

Let's see what's behind this strange acronym:

A for ... Actors
Identify your future contacts, your potential allies, your probable "enemies", their function, their priorities ...
If necessary, set up a team on your side in which different roles can be attributed to counter the potential objections.

T for ... Lots
To avoid the risk of confrontation and worse yet stalled, it is preferable to conduct negotiations on several issues (price, delivery, warranty, payment ...). Yield on an issue, get successful on another. Both parties feel winning ...

R for ... Report force
By definition, a negotiation is based on an opposition interest (sell at the highest price / buy at the best price). However, the agreements are when each party is satisfied. Do not try to crush your partner. Conversely, do not let your partner control you.

O for ... Objectives
Secure and keep in mind specific goals and prioritized. You also impose limitations. Not concede the issue of unacceptable "closing" the negotiation!

C for ... Confrontation
Try to identify the objectives of your partner and confront them to your own objectives. By doing so, you anticipate potential areas of disagreement.

E for ... Steps
A negotiation is like a play in several acts. Carefully prepare your introduction, it will condition the following discussions. For example you can announce the topics to be discussed during the interview. At the end of the discussion, take the leadership by a rapid synthesis des avancées obtenues ainsi que des sujets qui nécessiteront une nouvelle entrevue.

Rien de révolutionnaire mais un concentré de pragmatisme...
