In some ways going to court is like going in to an interview situation, only I would say it is far more pressurised and whereas an interview can last for an hour or two your court case can last for many months sometimes years.

Similar to an Interview situation it is wise to dress smartly and present yourself physically in the best possible light.

You have to realise that you are under the spotlight whenever you attend court and the judge and any professionals in court do not know you at all.

Of course, people should not be judged by their appearance at all, but human nature is such that if you look untidy or unkempt, whether you actually are or not doesn’t matter.

What matters, is that people in positions of power in relation to you, will have already formed an opinion about who or what sort of person you are.

Once those opinions have been formed it is not at all easy to dislodge them from them, or for people to change their minds about you.

So, it is really important to dress well and behave in a manner that does not lead people like the judge or the Cafcass Officer to see you as someone who would not be a good role model for your child/ren.

It will be vitally important that you are able to manage your feelings well and not present as though you are a time bomb waiting to go off.

Your ability to control your feelings and manage your frustrations is key because solicitors will often do their best to irritate you and if you are cross examined will do all in their power to show you up in the worst possible light.

They are likely to put you under a substantial amount of pressure and may choose any number of tactics to wind you up, belittle, shame or ridicule you.

What you have to understand is that is what they consider they get paid for i.e. to win their clients case.

They are not particularly concerned whether you or your child are being treated unfairly, that is not something they will waste any sleep over.

So even if you feel as though you are being crucified unfairly, if you want to stand the best chance of being seen in a positive light you are best advised never to rise to the bait and instead to conduct yourself in a consistently dignified and intelligent manner.

This does not mean that you do not defend yourself properly; it means instead that you keep cool which includes your body language and facial expressions and act to counter any accusations with calm and well thought out responses.

“What the heck happened in there? They slaughtered us! They out-negotiated us at every turn! Why did we not see that coming?” “I guess we didn’t plan for that type of negotiation with that type of negotiator”, was the reply.

People engage in negotiations because they seek to maximize an outcome. In that quest, some people lose their focus. They use the same negotiation strategies they’ve used in the past and wonder why they get slaughtered when those strategies are no longer effective. To prevent that from happening to you, note the following.

Positioning:

Environment: Know what the best environment is to conduct your negotiation in. That environment may encompass doing so in writing, or phone, versus in person. There are different dynamics that come into play when negotiating in different environments. Know the environment that will most benefit your style of negotiating compared to the negotiation style of the opposing negotiator.

Perception: Everyone has an image of who the person is that they’re negotiating with. That persona is based in part on what the perceiver knows about the other negotiator; that stems from what the perceiver has seen, heard, and thought of that person in the past.

Project the persona warranted for the negotiation. Take into consideration the negotiation style of the opposing negotiator in your calculation (i.e. hard (I’ll crush you), soft (I’ll go along to get along)). The perception you cast and how you perceive the other negotiator will determine the flow of the negotiation. To prevent being caught off guard, about your perception of the other negotiator and him of you, be adaptable as to the persona you project.

Strategy:

Entity: Know who you’re really dealing with (i.e. what force and sources motivates the other negotiator). Consider how he interprets information and how best to message that information related to the messenger (i.e. your persona). Your message may be received more favorably with one persona based on how that persona is perceived.

Leverage: When assembling strategies, assess how you’ll employ the powers of leverage. Leverage is a tool that can embolden you with positional power (i.e. power you have for a specified time), which can improve your negotiation position. Be cautious of how you use leverage. If you state you’ll engage in an action and don’t follow through, not only will you lose the ability to invoke leverage further in the negotiation, you also run the risk of losing credibility.

End Game:

What’s your end game and how will you know when you’ve entered it? You should develop the answers to those questions during the planning phase of your negotiation. The plan should encompass what might trigger the end game phase of the negotiation, how you might promote it to occur if it’s lagging, and what you might do to terminate the negotiation if you discern that your efforts will not get you there.

By having markers denoting possible exit points from a negotiation, you lessen the possibility of staying engaged longer than what’s necessary; staying engaged longer increases your vulnerability by making unnecessary concessions.

Once you arm yourself with the thoughts mentioned above, you’ll insulate yourself from the brutality that could otherwise occur. That insulation will also be a shield that prevents you from being slaughtered in your negotiations… and everything will be right with the world.

Remember, you’re always negotiating!

People try to avoid credit card debt repayment by using liability settlement as a liability relief method. Most of these people end up getting a small discount which does not help in repayment of loan. The current economic situations are such that a huge discount is necessary in order to get repay the loan amount. People do not have enough money to serve their families and take care of the welfare of their families so in such times it almost becomes impossible to repay a huge loan amount even if it is discounted by a small percentage. To get a higher discount it is very important that the negotiation tactics employed are highly professional. So avoid credit card debt repayment by employing professional negotiation skills.

Negotiation is the heart and soul of liability settlement because during liability settlement a debtor negotiates with the creditor for a huge discount. If his negotiation skills are persuasive and equal to the negotiation skills of an attorney then he can not only get a huge discount he can even get relaxation in the reimbursement time frame and interest rate charged on the reimbursement of the loan amount. Once he debtor has decided to go for liability settlement he should remain determined and he should not get afraid by the recovery tactics employed by the creditor. He should straight away go to the creditor threatening him to file for insolvency if he does not stop his tactics. This will put the creditor on the back foot and he would stop his activities at the very moment and he him self will offer the debtor to settle the liability amount.

If the debtor thinks that he does not have the appropriate negotiation skills then he should consider hiring a liability negotiation firm. This firm employs the best professional negotiators and attorneys who work on different cases and get help for different creditors. They use their highly used negotiation skills to get the best deal. Their skills are unmatched to the negotiation skills of a debtor. They have been in this industry for quite some time which has provided them with the tactics required. They have learned certain tactics and certain flaws in the financial sector laws which they use to manipulate the creditor. Due to all these reasons; a creditor will always be ready to provide the debtor with a huge discount.

Keep in mind that creditors are professionals who have entered the industry after taking too much knowledge and have a lot of experience so you require experience to fight against experience.
