Overview
A tactic is any skillful action used to gain an end. Tactics usually occur in the middle of a negotiation during the bargaining phase of the process but not always. There are two types of tactics. Overt and covert. Overt tactics are easy to recognize and must be addressed immediately. Covert tactics are subtle and may not be recognized at all. In this workshop, we explore how to recognize and respond to the most common tactics used by buyers.

What is coming at you? What will the other party try? Part of being prepared is trying to answer these questions before the negotiation. You need to identify tactics the other party is using so that you may counter them during the negotiation.
