3 pieces of advice for creating value from a negotiations expert
Ideoli learned about the strength in gaining knowledge from others. We had that opportunity while meeting Fotini Iconomopoulos, a Negotiations Consultant.
Known as “the negotiator,” Fotini’s LinkedIn states, “Today business executives partner with me to achieve their business goals, increase profitability and create a competitive advantage. I empower executives and their teams through my expertise in negotiation, communication and persuasion.” With that potential knowledge to unlock, Ideoli asked “What are your top pieces of advice for creating value?”
Fotini provided three pieces of advice: First she explained, understand what drives both people/groups on either side. This includes you, understand your drive and incentives.
Next, she explained the need to pay close attention. Understand and hear the other people’s/groups’ drives and incentives.
And lastly, Fotini suggests getting creative for an innovative outcome. Think outside the box.
When asked if she had anything to add, Fotini stated, “Be prepared to be flexible. Do some brainstorming and come up with solutions instead of trying to stay fixed in one mindset.”
So, let’s go forward with an innovative outcome with flexibility to reach that final product!
