6. Take your time
In negotiations, the tortoise wins.
Never let the rush to close the deal lead you to make the first offer. It is always better to let them make the first offer.

Never fail to see that you are anxious or desperate.
Take your time. Do not despair. Those who despair always end up closing a bad deal. Don't get backed into a corner. If your back is against the wall, don't let them notice.
