Communication and Negotiation Flashcards
How would you describe your negotiation style?
Informed – undertake research beforehand to ensure I have evidence to back up my points. I would say that I am persistent but respectful and always try to convey confidence in order to get best deal for my client.
What would you do if the prospective tenant did not budge? What would be your approach and would it depend on market conditions with regards to letting/ selling a unit?
It would depend on the market conditions at the time, as well as the level of interest I had received for the unit – in the case that there was no other interest it may be that I accept it in exchange for another compromise on a different term of the deal. If there is other interest I could threaten to walk away and see if they are bluffing, safe in knowledge that will likely still be able to let it.
