The Perfect Deal...

There is another side to negotiation that many negotiation courses fail to acknowledge: good negotiations can take a lot of time.

In an OilFinancier seminar, you will eventually encounter negotiations that, for whatever reasons, are starting to tire you or your potential partners. The deal that seems to on the table may be too risky for you. It may not be addressing some of your issues or be giving you enough return on your investment.

You could press the negotiations a bit further, but you also sense a certain degree of frustration which could cause the deal to collapse.

Or you could just accept the deal as is, knowing that it is not perfect. Analyze what went wrong, apply that knowledge for the next deal, and try to engineer your future negotiation strategy to minimize that frustration.

You may just decide that it's too difficult to deal with certain individuals. But be forewarned: others can make the same evaluation of you. It's always best to try for a win-win strategy.

Less-than-perfect deals are very much a judgment call in many OF deals, with no clear right or wrong answers. After going through this process in OilFinancier, you are likely to have better judgment when you are negotiating in the real world.

Reality-based learning can give you this experience in a very risk-free environment.
