[quote=Anonymous]Channel your inner Japanese person. They use silence as a negotiating tactic. I ask for a little more than I want, they say no, I say "I'm disappointed to hear that," and then just stare pleasantly at them. They eventually say, "We can't give you the $16k raise you asked for, but we CAN give you a $9k raise plus an extra week of vacation," at which point I say, "Thank you, I really appreciate it" and end the talk. It works every time. P.S. I have never done this with an actual Japanese person; it's entirely possible they'd catch on to my scheme. [/quote]
