I need a quick lesson in negotiation tactics. Can you give me any advice?

Try and remain calm, address emotions in a productive manner, and have confidence in your ability to come to an agreement. 2 Don't be afraid to walk away if the offer is not to your liking. 3 Make sure to be prepared and have an understanding of your desired outcome and the other party's needs. 4 Establish mutual trust by expressing your thoughts, feelings, and expectations clearly while also listening carefully to the other person's point of view. 5 Always remain polite and professional, and be ready to compromise if the situation calls for it.
