Internet negotiations are gradually becoming one of the most popular ways to communicate at a distance. Among their advantages: low or no pay and high functionality. Negotiations can take place in video, audio or text formats. The main thing is to be able to organize them correctly in order to make only a positive impression on the interlocutors.

programs for conducting Internet negotiations
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a negotiating program. If you need to communicate exclusively in text format, then you need to install ICQ, QIP or Skype. However, the first two are becoming less popular, as they are being replaced by more modern developments. They also use various email programs. For example, The Bat! or Microsoft Outlook.
Step 2
If video conferencing is required, install a client software such as Team Viewer or Microsoft Linc. They allow you to negotiate in real time using various types of communications: audio and video communication, instant messaging, desktop sharing and file transfer.
Step 3
No software is the best replacement for communication skills. To conduct successful negotiations, follow a few simple rules.
Step 4
Don't forget to choose the right time to call. First, don't forget about the time difference. Second, plan to negotiate so that they do not fall at the end of the working day or before a possible break.
Step 5
Prepare all the necessary materials in advance. If you plan to share a screen, make sure there are no unnecessary files in the required folders. It is unlikely that your interlocutor will be interested in seeing your beloved cat or dog, even if they are unusually good.
Step 6
Make a plan for upcoming negotiations. Write down the key points, the most important questions, think over your possible answers.
Step 7
If video communication is agreed, see if anything unnecessary will fall within the range of the video camera. Check your audio settings. Do not forget about your own appearance.
Step 8
Get in touch at the right time. If this is not possible, be sure to warn the interlocutor.
Step 9
Take notes of important conversations. This will allow you not only to return later to some important points, but also to evaluate from the outside how successfully you have negotiated. Such a view from the outside will give an opportunity to see mistakes and, accordingly, improve in the difficult art of negotiations.
