How to Master The Art of Compromise


In many cases all you will be able to get by be-
ing persistent is a compromise. Compromises
are good. They get you one step[ further that
you were in the first place. If for some reason,
such as self-respect, you can’t accept a com-
promise, then don’t. Give whatever you can
offer. If you do this you may not get any type of
settlement in your favor. Here are steps that will
show you how to compromise so that you get
the best of the bargain:
Tell The Person Exactly What You Want

Tell the person exactly what you want in terms
he will understand: “I want more...”

Persist

You must get past the other’s person’s excuses and alibis. You must be persis-
tent until you fell you have hit the other person’s bottom line. You may find that
the other person is trying to manipulate you. Be persistent until that person has
stopped all his manipulation.

If You Are Unsure

If you don’t know what they want, then don’t make a decision. You must think
the situation over before you make a compromise. If you need more time, tell the
other person that you need more time. Make sure that you can live with the com-
promise you have made before you make it.
