No todas las tácticas de negociación logran resultados óptimos, por lo que su equipo debe comprender la diferencia entre ellas para, así, llevar a cabo negociaciones más exitosas. En comparación con la negociación reactiva, basada en responder instintivamente al comportamiento de los demás, la negociación estratégica forma un enfoque proactivo en el que el negociador desarrolla una estrategia establecida de antemano.

Cuando se escucha la palabra negociación , suelen surgir ciertas suposiciones, como pensar en un drama policiaco televisivo, en un trato entre dos personas, o incluso en un debate acalorado. Al pensar en lo que define una negociación, se reduce a un intercambio de ofertas y contraofertas con la intención de llegar a un acuerdo mutuo que funcione para todas las partes.
