Getting your way by flinching during negotiations
You don’t have to be an international businessman conducting international business to use this trick. Say, you’re buying a second-hand car, or you’re haggling after meeting up with a seller from Craigslist. When they throw out their asking price, flinch. Don’t go overboard, but do it so that the other person notices.
This response will let the other person know that you’re horrified by their asking price, which can make them adjust their offer. This can also work while negotiating your salary. Practice doing this in the mirror and in front of friends to perfect your flinching technique. Also, don’t follow your “uncontrollable” flinch with a “That’s terrible!” You’ll come off as overly critical.
