Key Takeaways
- The best negotiations create outcomes where both sides feel they won — long-term relationships matter more than winning a battle.
- Know your walk-away number before you start — emotional attachment to a deal kills your negotiating position.
- Information is leverage — the more you know about the seller's motivation, timeline, and alternatives, the stronger your position.
- Speed and certainty of close are negotiating tools — sellers will often take less from a buyer they trust to perform.
