We were enjoying a barbecue at or neighbors the other day and in exasperation I said, “If you ever want to learn a few tips or the best strategies for sales or negations, just observe our kids.”
I can’t tell you how many negotiations I’ve had with our kids over the years, and this past month seems to be some kind of family record. The kids have just been on a roll when it comes to trying to get their way, trying to stay up late, or an attempt to wiggle out of something they should be doing.
I don’t know how you feel, but it seems like kids these days are much smarter, wiser and craftier than when I was growing up. I guess that’s a round-about way to say our kids sure are smarter than I was growing up!
Bottom line, though, if you want to learn the best strategies in sales and negotiations, study your kids, or go to a school, park or playground and observe the kids sales and negotiation skills. You’ll witness first-hand some skillful youngsters selling to whoever will listen, and being as persistent as anyone until they get their way.
