Preparing to Negotiate
Lack of preparation in a negotiation almost always sets a person up for failure. First and foremost, each party must clearly define their own goals and objectives. Secondly, each party must anticipate the goals of the opposition. This may require doing some background research. Finally, each party must come up with various alternatives to their main objectives.
沒有準備的談判人員注定是失敗的。首先，談判人員必須非常明確他們的目的和具體目標。其次，他們要知道對手的目標。這要求在每場談判前都要做大量的調查和分析。最后，也是最容易被忽視的就是，談判人員必須準備大量的替代方案。

However, it is difficult to find work in the middle of winter. Markus has a family to support and he cant afford to lose his job.
