Negotiating is one of those skills we all have and use every day. Some are better than others but we all engage in negotiations all the time. Negotiating is not limited to your day job but comes useful in every situation you want something of somebody and includes when you’re talking to your boss, co-workers, spouse and children.

When most people think of negotiation they think of it in business terms or dealing with a salesman, but in fact a negotiation can be as big as two hostile countries sitting down and talking or your child asking you if they can borrow the car.

Before you enter into any negotiation you need to be prepared and there are 3 areas in which you have to be prepared every time. They are:

Yourself – Knowing yourself and knowing what you want is the most important factor. It will take you some time and thinking to clearly define what you want out of life but once you do your confidence will be increased and your negotiation skills will improve. Preparing yourself also means knowing your strengths and weaknesses.

The other person – As soon as you find out who you will be negotiating with it is very important to research that person. This offers a couple of advantages that can save you a lot of time and make the negotiation go smoother e.g. by doing your research you will have found out what authority this person has and therefore you will not ask for impossible things the person can’t offer, also on the other hand you will know for sure if they are claiming they don’t have the authority.

Knowing a little about the other person also has some social benefits. You can build rapport from the start by showing you know a fact or two about the other person. In situations such as an interview this can work wonders because it shows you took the time out and did research.

The Industry – You need to know about the industry you are working in. Strive to constantly learn about what is going on in your industry so you stay updated. Whenever you are going to be negotiating in an unfamiliar industry make sure to do the research so you know the players and the issues.

The easiest thing to do is to ask a teen girl upfront of what they might want for this Xmas and in some cases you’ll get a quick reply which will let you know exactly what her heart desires and that really makes things easy if the gift she’s asking for is reasonable and in your budget. Of course we also know this takes away from the element of surprise and you might want to show her that you know more about her than she thinks by finding a great gift which will have her delighted on Christmas day.

But the question still remains what are the best gifts to give to teenage girls?

Well I’ll help you a little with the top three Xmas present ideas for girls which never run out of fashion.

1) Top of our list of the best Xmas present ideas for teenage girls is Apple iPods. Girls love music and instead of buying them CD’s of their favourite artists every year, an Apple iPod would be a well received gift. Yep their pricey but in my eyes their worth the money and it will be an Xmas present that will last a long time and with so many types of iPod’s available there is bound to be one in the right price range offering the right functions, perfect for any teen girl.

2) Cosmetics are always popular for teenage girls and come in second on our top Xmas present ideas for teenage girls. Now, I’m not saying go out and buy whole cosmetic sets for young teen girls but stuffing her Christmas stocking with skin care gift sets, hair styling sets and colourful nail varnish won’t hurt. We all know how it is to be young and how conscious we were of how we looked and small gifts like these just might be ideal for helping them feel and look more confident.

3) Third on the list of Xmas present ideas for teenage girls are gift cards. You just can’t go wrong with is gift cards. They’re great gift ideas not only for teenage girls but for anyone of any age. If you’re completely clueless about what to get her and just can’t find a great gift for her then this should be the option you take. Gift cards allow her to choose what she wants and you can have it tailored to a certain shop. So for example if you know she is into sports you can purchase a gift card of say £50 for her to spend in JD sport.
