Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills
Tip #2. Study Body Language
There’s no question that body language is important. It makes your presentations more memorable, it helps you stand out during interviews and it also gives you that winning edge in negotiations.
In fact, sometimes how you act has a lot more impact than what you say. Indeed, 55% of effective communication primarily comes from body language, and most people retain (запомнить) information through visual rather than oral communication.
When it comes to negotiating, having the proper body language will not only make you feel more confident, but it will also make you appear more authoritative and memorable. So, always dress appropriately (соответствующе) – and remember: slumped (сутулый) shoulders and downcast (опущенный) eyes are a definite no-no.
Similarly, learning how to read other people’s body language will guide you on whether you should push an agenda or wait another time.
