Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/negotiation

Negotiation is the process of reaching mutually acceptable agreements between parties with differing interests, commonly used in business deals, salary discussions, contracts, and conflict resolution. Skilled negotiators use techniques like active listening, anchoring, and identifying underlying interests (rather than just stated positions) to create value and reach win-win outcomes. It's a core professional competency taught in business schools and valued across sales, law, procurement, and management roles.
