Communicating at the Right Time
Negotiating Effectively at the Table from the Buyer and Seller
|
 Regardless of whether you are on the buyer or seller side, you need to communicate effectively when in negotiations if you want to conclude with a successful transaction.

The biggest fault any party can have is solely giving answers and not listening or writing down the input of the other side. Knowing what the other side is thinking and being able to relate and understand will lead you to a successful close instead of an impasse.

No business has been able to survive let alone stay in the black over time when it fails to grow.In today's global economy, the average life span of a business is approximately 12 years, down from more than 25 years for businesses in existence in the 1950s. The ultimate life span of even established global business is only about 40 years - ending in either bankruptcy or acquisition.

This is vital not only for when you are using capital to buy a business but also for budgeting initial operating expenses.
