Five things you should not say while negotiating:
- “Between”, don’t use a range in your offering
- “I think we are close”, it’s a sign of frustration and willingness to compromise
- “Why don’t you throw out a number?”, be the first bidder
- “I’m the final decision maker”, always leave some room for advice from your dog!
- “Fuck you”, I say use it if needed
