<human>:  How can I negotiate better?
<bot>: The best way to negotiate is to remain confident and prepared. Do research before engaging in a negotiation, so that you know what a fair price would be and can explain why it is important. Speak calmly and clearly, and be open to compromise. Remember that negotiation is a two-way street, and the person you are negotiating with will also have their own interests to consider. Be persistent, but also patient and respectful. Keep an open mind to different solutions that could still satisfy both parties’ needs.
