5. ●Nibbling -constant adding of small requirements. Ask for small things, one at a time. Get agreement on each.

6. ●Good Guy/Bad Guy One person acts in an aggressive and pushy way, making unreasonable demands and requiring compliance. The other person then acts in a kind and friendly way, asking nicely -- and getting compliance. You can even do it as one person: be unpleasant and then apologize (you are under such stress) and ask nicely for what you want.

7. ●Silence If you don’t like what your counterpart has said, or if you’ve made an offer and you’re waiting for a response, just sit back and wait. Most people feel uncomfortable when conversation ceases, and they start talking automatically to fill the void.

8. ●Time Usage and Constraints When time plays a big role in the negotiating process particularly the deadline for the talks draws near. The fear of deadlock is a strong stimulant for reaching an agreement.
