When it comes to negotiations in business ventures what law/s do you utilise to your benefit in this area and how?
In your own thoughts and experiences only, everyone’s comment is appreciated just curious as to how many of you use certain laws when it comes to business, clients, sales and negotiating or anything you want to extrapolate it to.

33 strategies would be better
Law 48 is best as you have to adapt to what they’re offering Law 1 too, law 2 law 4 law 8 law 11 law 24 and law 28. Maybe 37
Don’t be a suck up.

There’s so much subtlety in negotiations, it’s entirely case based. There’s plenty to discuss, I enjoy dissecting the laws’ application in hindsight.
At 30,000 feet, to answer your question: 3, 6, 21, 33, the more ruthless ones like 15, pump the brakes. It’s pretty easy to appear manic, or power hungry, playing silly games, you’ll be known as the difficult guy. Best to put your reputation first, taking over a country isn’t the goal for the majority of business deals generally speaking.
