Good negotiations start with your etiquette. Show the other party you are a true professional. Do not lower yourself to spewing personal insults if there is a disagreement. Maintain a respectful and dignified tone throughout the negotiations, regardless of the outcome. Even if one negotiation doesn’t go well, it doesn’t mean future negotiations won’t go well. Always try to maintain a good relationship with the other party to establish a solid long-term relationship.

Never accept the first offer. There is always room to negotiate when the other party makes an offer to buy or sell something. A buy offer usually starts with the lowest price possible, while a sell offer starts with the highest price. What you’ll want to do is negotiate something that meets the other party halfway in the middle. That way, both parties can get some of what they want. 

Take a little extra time to investigate the other party or the value of their offer. However, don’t take too much time to decide or else the other party might walk away from the deal. Make sure both parties agree on a deadline for a decision to be made.

How to Keep Warm While Winter Camping

Aaron Eichler graduated with an MBA from the University of Minnesota, Carlson School of Management, in 2003. In June 2017, he founded a strategic consultancy firm in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Aaron Eichler enjoys outdoor activities such as biking, fishing, baseball, and camping when he’s not working.

While camping is a favorite summertime activity for Minnesotans, many people also enjoy camping in the winter. Minnesota has various spots for winter camping, including Afton State Park, True North Basecamp, Glendalough State Park, Jay Cooke State Park, Lake Maria State Park, and Whitetail Woods Regional Park. While camping during winter can be thrilling, being ill-prepared can lead to a miserable night due to cold weather and freezing temperatures. Below are some tips to keep warm during winter camping.

The most crucial part of winter camping is keeping warm through heat management. It is essential to carry along warm clothes, such as insulated jackets, leg warmers, gloves, scarfs, woolen hats, and hot water bottles. It is also advisable to bring a suitable type of footwear depending on the kind of trip. A good pair of waterproof boots will help keep the feet well insulated.

When building a fire, it is essential to keep the fire elevated, which helps the fire burn hotter and remain consistent, thus providing much-needed warmth. Also, it is a good idea for people to sleep close to each other as possible to keep warm at night.
