Identify, collect and produce the most important information early. Negotiations to reach an agreement are most effective at the proverbial sweet spot, when each of the parties. Ninth, use the very strong social obligation of the rule of reciprocity. Cialdini explains that the rule of reciprocity obliges people to return a favor with a favor.
Oddly enough, the reciprocal favor is often of greater or different value than the initial favor. Use this concept to manipulate your opposition during negotiations. Use positive, respectful and generous negotiating behavior to generate that attitude in return and facilitate the influence of the other party to accept the settlement proposals. Express your desire to meet the needs of the opposition so that they can return the favor by satisfying your needs.
Accept the opposition's request for something less valuable to generate an obligation of reciprocity before making a proposal for agreement. When negotiating at your law firm, be a friendly host who provides them with food and a comfortable room so that, when making a settlement proposal, they are more inclined to want to return the generosity by accepting the proposal. In the same way, grant extensions of evidence and show courtesy to the needs of the opposition in litigation prior to negotiations, so that the other party acts reciprocally. Reaching an out-of-court settlement can eliminate any number of obstacles to negotiation.

Both sides must gain something and both sides must lose something. You must be prepared to give up something that you think you are entitled to. You can't expect to defeat your opponent or win a negotiation, either because of the power of your negotiating skills or the compelling force of your logic. This is not to say that good negotiating skills are irrelevant.
In most cases, there are a variety of possible outcomes. A skilled negotiator can often achieve an agreement close to the top of the range.

Start by contacting your creditors directly and explaining your financial situation to them. Be honest about the reasons you can't pay the full amount and what you're offering as a settlement. Avoid making emotional appeals; instead, focus on presenting a reasonable and well-founded proposal.
When negotiating with a debt collector, you must confirm if you owe the debt, calculate a realistic payment plan, and make a payment proposal to the debt collector. Lawyers also tend to denigrate their clients' positions on some issues or to distance themselves from a client's unreasonable demands, as if the lawyer were negotiating on their own behalf. Clients should be prepared for a potentially lengthy process and work closely with their attorney to understand how attorneys negotiate agreements to ensure a fair resolution.
