In a negotiation, do you know how to say “No” to the client?

2020-07-01 | Author: Jose Almeida | Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes | Leave a Comment

When we are in the final phase of a negotiation, sometimes there is a need to say “no” to the client.

The problem is how to do it without breaking the negotiation.

Both parties want to get the best out of the deal.

Often the negotiation focuses on price, but usually, other concessions can be negotiated, such as contractual conditions, delivery dates, product or service options, etc.
