How to Negotiate

By: Brooklyn Callahan & JJ Stunda

1. Think of what you desire most (a pet, pool, hair dye, phone, etc.)

2. Start by asking for something with higher value then what you truly want

3. Have them talk you down to something more realistic towards your goal

4. You then act disappointed by your parents actions (but not too disappointed because then they will find you as ungrateful and you won't get anything) to make them feel as if they won

5. Say "thank you this is enough for me" and walk away feeling as if you won. It's a win win situation

Follow these steps and things should go smoothly with your parents. We cannot guarantee your success. Personal injury can arise from the use of these steps. People who use these steps can not sue the authors from being hit by barn animals.
