I like nice people.
Nice people do nice things and are easy to work with even in an environment of diverse beliefs/opinions.
Negotiations with nice people tend to find WIN-WIN ...
Nice people look for solutions . . .
Nice people ask lots of questions in search of commonality.
Nice people develop systems around them to absorb the impact of anomalies.
Nice people come from contribution - always looking for a way to GIVE.
Nice people win the lottery and do good things with the money.
I like nice people.
I don't care how crazy the world gets, the value of nice people appreciates with every passing moment.
When I was in High school, I heard more than once that "nice guys finish last" and that seemed to be true . . . during high school . . . but it doesn't hold water any more.
Nice people FINISH!
I witnessed a competition between 2 Buyers for a property over the week end.
One of the Buyer agents was nice . . . the other wasn't.
Both Buyers submitted offers that netted the Seller the same . . .
One of the REALTORS was nice . . . The other wasn't.
The not-nice agent was the first offer . . . the nice one was 2nd.
The Seller asked which one was the better offer . . .
The Listing agent simply responded: "I like the 2nd Buyer"
Guess who got the house?
That's right . . . The nice one . . .
So . . . Perhaps your best negotiating tactic might have something to do with your niceness?
I think so . . .
I think I see people yearning for this warp-speed environment to slow down a bit as more and more people crave genuine contact with others . . . Turn off the computer and simply BE NICE!
I'm just sayin'
Best,
