2. In our regular responsibility as procurement professionals and with a priority target of reducing price in everything we do I looked back
upon our common approach of getting best price.
Majorly we have two ways for arriving at order price (mostly referred as "best price to buy") discussion with our supply partners & they
are " persuasion" & "negotiation
Persuasion is convincing others to take/agree certain actions/view. On other hand negotiations means to discuss, understand various
views and mutually satisfactory agreement.
I have created below summary of both approaches. There is no right or wrong approach, it mostly depends on skill, competency &
situation of procurement member. Obviously the effectiveness and outcome of both approach vary a lot.
PERSUASION
EMOTIONAL IN NATURE
SHORT TERM APPROACH
CAN GET EGO DRIVEN
INDIVIDUALLY DRIVEN
GUT BASIS
WIN LOOSE
RESULTING IN BUFFER QUOTING
SUPPLIER PERCEPTION ORIENTED
SKILL & DOMINANCE

AGGRESIVE WITH LAW OF AUTHORITY

NEGOTIATION
STRATEGIC IN NATURE
LONG TERM

RESPONSIBILITY DRIVEN
DETAILED WORKING BASIS

3. Negotiation involves persuasion, necessarily, but not all persuasion is negotiation.
Both skills are interrelated & significant for success. FRANKLY you can't negotiate if you don't
know how to persuade, and in many situations persuasion is in the context of negotiation. An
effective persuasive negotiator will usually be more successful.
It's useful for all of us, regardless of the industry we work in, to have good negotiation skills.
There are many different techniques we can use in a negotiation. But we could be far more
successful if we knew what approach to use, based on the skills and abilities that we already
have.
Happy Negotiations.....
