Pod cast episode 024: successful negotiation skills (part 1 of 2) from pm411.org gave me some tips for the internal negotiations:
- Prepare your meetings,
- Understand your priority,
- What alternatives do you have?,
- Make sure that your consistency plan has time & resources,
- Be careful with the relationship,
- Get agreement between all parties,
- Build relationships in the process,
And other interesting phrase at the end of all the pod casts:
Keep your hands on the plan and your eyes on the price.
