If negotiation is part of your scam job, pay attention to your non-verbal expressions.
The interlocutor reads them and draws conclusions about you. And it is within your power to make sure that you are treated like a strong partner. Here are the nuances in your posture, facial expressions, gestures you should consider:
Energetic gestures
This can be taken as a sign - you are hiding something. So watch out for the gestures. Let it be mean and accurate - to your advantage.
Watching the clock
You may not notice this familiar gesture. And the partner will take it unequivocally - you have more important things to do, and you want to end the meeting as soon as possible.
Crossed arms or legs
A closed pose indicates a reluctance to negotiate. Even if it's so easy for you, don't do it in negotiations.
Gloomy look
Watch your face. From your drawn eyebrows or drooping corners of your lips, the interlocutor may think that you disagree with him and are generally unhappy with the meeting.
Playing with hair or a pen
Have you noticed this for yourself? Curling your hair around your finger, playing with or tapping a pen on the table - any unnecessary movement indicates your nervousness and self-doubt.
Slouch
Do you always walk and sit like that? Not an argument, watch your posture - otherwise your opponent will perceive you as a weak and uninterested person in the topic of conversation.
⠀
Active head nod
You constantly nod because you sincerely agree with the interlocutor and, in principle, are cheerful in life. And your partner will see in this your promiscuity and dependence on the approval of others.
If it seems to you that all of the above is not about you, congratulations! And we advise you to record the process of the conversation on camera at least once, if possible. A great way to see yourself from the outside and make sure that you are really good at negotiations. And in terms of polemics, and non-verbal.
