When Moses does not return when expected from Mount Sinai, the people make a golden calf and worship it. G-d purposes to destroy the errant nation, but Moses negotiates on their behalf.[I:http://bestcareforus.com/Articles/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/CelsoCukierkorn0.jpg]
As I have said in my book, Secrets of Jewish Wealth Revealed, if there is one thing we Jews have a knack for, it’s negotiating.
The Jews have a special ability to negotiate that is like no other. Why is negotiating so important? Negotiating is important because everything thing that we say and do with others can be seen as a negotiation. If you do not recognize that many of your daily interactions are actually opportunities to negotiate, then you are already losing out on many opportunities.
In many other countries and cultures beyond the U.S. borders, negotiating is simply a way of life and a part of daily living. I recall a trip to China during which a street vender looked very perplexed when a lady in my group paid $1 for a Buddha figure that surely could have been negotiated down to 30 cents. She wasn’t accustomed to negotiating, so she paid the initial asking price.
Perhaps you may feel that negotiating is beneath you. But that is not the right way to think. You earn your money. By not negotiating, you are literally decreasing your wages. In some places like gas stations, or restaurants it may not be possible to negotiate. But think about how many opportunities that you have passed to get a better deal.[I:http://bestcareforus.com/Articles/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/CelsoCukierkorn3.jpg]
The first rule for negotiating is that you should be in front of the other person. If I buy a condo, I want to present the offer personally.
Negotiation is a give-and-take process, but being in control of the process is the only way to be successful at it.
Always act uninterested and know when to walk out of the negotiation.
Acts of negotiation are more frequent in the Bible than acts of prayer. Don’t forget that many other Biblical figures were great negotiators. Lot negotiated on behalf of the Three Angels, and Moses negotiated with God (over and over again) on behalf of the Israelites. So did Abraham. In my Bestselling book Secrets of Jewish Wealth Revealed I teach many unique negotiation techniques. If they could negotiate, why shouldn’t we?
