5 You're a chief executive heading a business buyout. Or perhaps a manager trying to get more work out of fewer people. In either case, negotiating is a critical step.

To do it well, you need patience and persistence. Negotiations can be knockdown drag-outs: Opponents try to knock down your will and drag out the process.

Stay focused, says strategist David Jakielo, co-author of "The Sales Coach." Enter the talks with a clear picture of the results you want -- down to themost minute detail. You'll avoid the unexpected, including concessions you hadn't planned on making.

Here are other negotiating tips:

** Maintain your walk-away power. Never get desperate, even when the going gets tough. If you want something badly, you may get it exactly that way -- badly.

Be willing to walk, and call the other side's bluff if necessary. The side with the greatest walk-away power has the upper hand.
