I have done several during my years as a purchaser, so I recognize the different points that Anita Campbell has listed. I think that # 7. Don’t Devalue Your Worth, is very important to remember. I even took a course on negotiations with the title, "Negotiations From A Weak Position." ;)

Anita,

Great post. I think number 3 is very important to remember, especially if you are negotiating to provide a service. One of the things to think about from your side is the time (and potentially money) it will take you to always be hunting for new customers versus having a relationship with a smaller group of customers who provide a steady flow of work. Is it worth lowering your price a bit to lock in that more solid and long term relationship? Love if you could share any additional insights in the comment section of the BizSugar community.
