INTRODUCTION
The procurement professionals spend a fairly good portion of their time negotiating with suppliers for a better deal for their company. Negotiation is an integral part of their job functions. As buyers, they seldom have a choice of whether or not to negotiate, but they do have a choice in when and how well they do it. Having to negotiate is inevitable; doing it well is more so. They cannot go through a day without negotiating items such as on-time delivery, quantity, quality, differences between departments, technical support, priorities, price, specification changes, etc.

 

Success in negotiations with suppliers will vary directly with the amount of time and effort put into preparing. It is also critical to remember that all negotiations cannot be handled the same way. Each one is unique. The only way to achieve negotiation objectives is to prepare properly and to communicate effectively, knowing what techniques to employ in a given negotiation setting - keeping abreast with the knowledge and skills to make the difference in negotiation.
