Bad Negotiation Habit #3

I hope that you have enjoyed the article "Bad Negotiation Habits: Break Them Now!" I have one more bad negotiation habit to add to those mentioned in the article...

Bad Habit #3: Relying On Your Past Performance. If you’ve been in the purchasing profession for a while, you’ve probably been involved in many negotiations and may even feel that you’ve done well. That doesn’t mean that you should stop honing your negotiation skills.

Anyone can – and should - get better at negotiating, irrespective of their experience. In fact, if you haven’t learned anything new in negotiation in the past three or more years, chances are good that your suppliers have learned the techniques you use and have developed a way to counter them.

If you interrupted your reading of the article to learn this third bad habit, you can click here to return to the article for the Spotlight On Professional Development, Latest Purchasing News (including information about the Next Level Purchasing Facebook page), and FREE Offer sections of the article.
