Steps to Successful Negotiation

Posted on by

Negotiation skills are an attribute which every woman wanting to get ahead must have. In business today, successful negotiation is extremely important and is one of the pre-requisites for achieving success. The following are 5 steps which should be followed in order to negotiate successfully in business.

The very first step is to place yourself in the shoes of the person whom you are negotiating with. Look at things from the other persons perspective and evaluate what their objectives are. This will help you to understand what outcome they are looking for and hence could give you an advantage in the negotiation process. You will also be able to analyze how the other group views you and your proposal.

The next step which should be followed is to know everything about the business you are dealing with. You need to prepare prior to your meeting and find out as much as possible about them. Things which you need to consider should be how well the business is doing at the moment, whether they are carrying out the deal to meet some financial requirement and/or what the purpose is for them to be carrying out business with your company. The main reason for this step is to find out the motive behind the business dealing.

Always remember the person asking the questions is the person who holds the power. Ensure you ask questions to clarify the outcome are required and what is required from you.

There are many techniques involved with negotiation and you should make use of the one you feel most comfortable with. There are generally 3 types of techniques which every woman should select from. These three techniques are:

-Competitive/Conflict negotiation
-Cooperative Negotiation
-Problem Solving Negotiation

Each of these techniques is unique on their own and follows a different plan. Research them all and then select one, which suits your style of negotiation and which also, helps your company fulfill its business needs.

The fourth step is to prepare a strategy. In order to achieve your objectives and come out successful from the negotiation, you need to have a well thought out and planned strategy. You can never predict what is going to happen so being prepared is the best option. Prepare the things you need to say and what you want to achieve beforehand. Knowing this information in advance, frees your mind to concentrate on managing whatever happens on the day.

Some of the tasks you should focus on completing before the meeting should be the time at which you will be carrying out the negotiation – is it suitable to both parties? Next, the duration of the meeting should be kept in mind, have you left enough time between meetings, so you dont have to rush from one to another staying focused is the key. Where should the meeting be held to ensure a successful outcome is also very important?

The fifth and final step in negotiation is that you remain calm. There will be aspects in the meeting when you will not know what to do or say. At these moments the best thing to do is remain calm and patient. Do not let them know you are feeling pressured and most of all, do not let the other party intimidate you. If in doubt, ask a clarifying question.

Ooma Review Is Voip Really Good Enough

Posted on by

A couple of years ago Ooma VoIP devices came onto the telecommunications scene.

For a quite a while now, the communications industry has been getting us all hyped up on VoIP with companies like Vonage leading the charge in selling the service.

If you’re like me, the monthly cost of communications has gotten to be a significant part of the monthly budget. Any way to save a buck or two is always on my radar, but I wasn’t willing to take the plunge until I knew I could rely on it. Internet, land line phone, mobile phone, TV, streaming entertainment…it’s gotten ridiculous! These “essentials” can end up competing with food expenditures!

he idea is enticing…Voice over Internet Protocol…essentially, using the Internet to transmit phone calls. You already have Internet access; why not just use it for your voice calls?

The “early adopters” explored the early days of VoIP offerings and the reports were not terribly encouraging. Buffering, freezing, weird echo-ing…the technology just wasn’t up to snuff.

Then came Ooma.

In 2009 the Ooma Core VoIP was launched. This was soon followed by the Ooma Hub and Ooma Scout.

What immediately set Ooma apart was the crystal clear voice quality. Ooma set the standard with the leading edge technology and the ease of use.

The latest offering on the market is Ooma Telo Free Home Phone Service.

As technology is apt to do, this new device has become even smaller and sleeker than its predecessors. It’s a simple, unobtrusive device to add to your home.

It’s also incredibly easy to use. Plug your modem into the Ooma Telo and plug your phone into the Ooma Telo. Voila!

The options are great too. Get a new phone number, or keep your old one. Use BlueTooth to connect your mobile to the Ooma. Get rid of your land line altogether or keep it as a backup. Full 911 access even sends your address to emergency services.

You can even upgrade to the Ooma Premier package for more features. You get to try all of them for free and then decide if you want to keep them.

Joseph Wang – China Mobile Is Ready For Rapid Growth

Posted on by

China’s economy may be at a slower rate than the previous growth, but is expected to grow by more than 5%. This is due to these growth estimates, China is expected to overtake the United States as the largest smartphone market.

An increase of nearly 8% share of smartphone sales in the global market in the country, is expected to the end of the current fiscal year. This is not surprising, as the most populous country in the world per capita income increased gradually, advances in technology, the decline in the price of the smartphone.

China Mobile (NYSE: CHL) is the world’s largest telecommunications network, and have nearly 700 million users. The company’s market capitalization hit $ 22 billion, is one of the largest enterprises in the world. Headquartered in China, China Mobile and get 70% of the share of the domestic telecommunications market. Its rival China Unicom (NYSE: CHU) has 20% of the shares, the remaining 10% of China Telecom (NYSE: CHA).

The company’s telecommunications network based on 3G technology is not new in any aspect. It should be noted that the 3G penetration rate of only 18%, the technology is still in its early stages. With the growth in the number of smart phones in the domestic shift more users to the 3G network. It is reported that, as of August of this year, China Mobile has 72 million 3G users, even 10% of the total number of users.

China Unicom, China Mobile, one of the competitors, has a total of 2.27 million subscribers, including 63.7 million 3G subscribers. Between users was 28%, much higher than China Mobile’s 3G penetration.

So far, China Mobile’s competitors, in a dominant position to become the world’s largest telecommunications companies provide 3G services. To recycle the stronghold, China Mobile has announced the launch of 4G LTE services after 2013, smartphone users will not have to switch networks, and enjoy seamless download speed.

To expand its data hungry user base, it recently announced that China Mobile and Apple negotiations with China Mobile’s service contract in the domestic release of the iPhone 5. Transactions between Apple and China Mobile has announced upgrades to 4G LTE technology can actually pass. Ultimately, the deal is expected to a substantial increase in production sales of the iPhone, mainly because of China Mobile’s extensive influence over the country, a large user base. China Mobile can expect the rapid increase in the popularity of 3G, 2G users because of its high-end smart phone manufacturers reputation.

Telecommunications companies to market competition, give subsidies to contract on the phone and its users. After the contract expires, the user can choose to switch or stay in the service provider. If the user decides to stay, and income, as well as ongoing telecommunications company profits. In order to beat the competition, China Mobile announced that this will be the speed of the massive subsidies from the current $ 190 million to $ 4.1 billion, a 215% increase in management. The company has cash reserves of more than U.S. $ 580 billion, which will ensure that the increase in the subsidy does not produce a strain on the company’s business.

The stock performance of the three companies, China Mobile has been a star performer YTD.

Comparison of the three major telecommunications company financial indicators, we can see that China Mobile has the lowest debt / equity ratio. The company also has the highest return on investment, and enjoys the highest net profit margin.

In my opinion, the introduction of new technology, China Mobile may completely change the rules of the game. Most data hungry users want to be the world’s largest telecommunications service providers to enjoy uninterrupted connectivity, which is due to compelling reasons mentioned above, I have a new move “buy” rating.

Russian Telecommunications Market To Be Worth More Than 30bn In 2012

Posted on by

Current situation

According to the latest report The telecommunications market in Russia 2011. Development forecasts for 2011-2015 published by PMR, a market research company, the value of the telecommunications services market in Russia increased by 17.3% year on year to 27.3bn in 2010, from approximately 23.2bn in 2009. The growth rate measured in local currency was lower and amounted to 10%. It should be noted that PMR last year forecasts concerning the telecoms market value in 2010, excluding exchange rate fluctuations, assumed the growth rate of 4 p.p. lower than the actual result.
Overall economic recovery in the country continue to be one of the main market growth drivers in 2010. The demand for telecommunications services in Russia went up after the crisis which hit the Russian economy end of 2008. In 2010, after a sharp decline in 2009, operators also increased the investments in the construction of new networks and the improvement of service quality.

The Russian telecommunications market has been steadily increasing, starting in 2000 with the development of mobile telephony and internet access. In the last two years, the market was affected by the migration of voice traffic from fixed to mobile networks and also to the internet and, as a result, the segment of fixed-line telephony began to stagnate. The growth of mobile voice services also declined with the increasing maturity of this market. The most dynamic during recent years was the segment of internet access, including both fixed and mobile technologies. This market was an area of business growth for the operators in 2009-2010, and it will continue to play a role of the development driver for the entire telecommunications market in Russia, considering its relatively low maturity.
Mobile telephony is by far the largest segment of the Russian telecommunications market. Based on the revenue reports provided by operators, total sales of mobile voice and non-voice services in Russia in 2010 amounted to RUB 710bn (17.7bn), which is 10.6% more than in the previous year measured in roubles, or 17.9% measured in euros. The mobile telephony market accounted for the largest part of the telecommunications spending in Russia last year. Even if to exclude mobile VAS and to consider only the mobile voice segment, the mobile telephony share would reach the level of almost 50% in 2010, while the total number of registered SIM cards already exceeded 150% of the total population of Russia.
Provision of access to the internet remains the most dynamic and fast growing segment of the telecommunications market in Russia, which increased by 30% year on year in 2010. This growth of the market was driven by quickly increasing penetration of fixed-line broadband but also enhanced by the fast expansion of 3G networks and the operators active promotion of mobile internet.

3G and LTE uptake

With the commercial launch of UMTS networks in 2008, an increasing contribution to the growth of the mobile telephony market in Russia is already coming from non-voice value-added services provided in mobile networks, especially from broadband internet. Development of 3G networks is also changing the landscape of the Russian mobile telephony market. Operators from the Big Three group got a new source of revenue from the development of mobile broadband internet, which became the main 3G application.
Meanwhile, two concepts of the future LTE networks development in Russia have been recently presented. In December 2010, the Russian government proposed to create LTE Consortium which was expected to come up with proposals related to the development of 4G networks in the country. The consortium was created by the leading national telecommunications operators, including Rostelecom, MTS, VimpelCom and MegaFon. Smaller regional operators were not invited to join. Mid of 2011, LTE Consortium presented a report which states that the available radio spectrum is feasible to be shared between four operators and each of the operators will need to invest RUB 85.7bn (2.1bn) to install approximately 20,810 base stations covering over 10,400 of locations in the country with more than 1,000 of inhabitants, i.e. to build a federal LTE network. The condition is that the operators will use simultaneously a 690-880 MHz and 2,500-2,700 MHz radio bandwidth having 30 MHz spectrum each. In March 2011, there was also an agreement between MTS, MegaFon, VimpelCom, Rostelecom and Skartel, which had already had available a bandwidth for LTE, that Skartel would build LTE networks in 180 cities and towns in Russia and would give each of the operator 20% capacity in this network. Skartel expects to invest approximately RUB 60bn (1.5bn) in the project.
It is not certain yet what kind of strategy for LTE development will be applied in Russia. Either the government will announce a tender for four federal licences or Skartel will build the network. A real barrier for the development of the LTE network in the country is the fact that radio bandwidth is already used by military communication systems and the investments in conversion are considered to be very high. All in all, the most probable scenario now could be the launch of the first LTE networks in Russia not earlier than in 2014 comments Pawel Olszynka, a PMR analyst and one of the report authors.

Short-term forecasts

Macroeconomic development forecasts for Russia for 2011-2012 are positive. GDP is expected to reach 4.5% annually. This remains a good background for the business development and investments in telecommunications services and networks. The growth in the consumers confidence boosts the demand for IT and telecommunications services and facilitates the spending on personal computers, mobile phones and the internet.
The Russian telecommunications market will continue its upward trend over the next two years or so, triggered by the growing internet services market, both in fixed and mobile networks. One strategic advantage of the Russian ISP market over other Central and Eastern European countries is its big size, poor development and territorial coverage, therefore, almost all providers and all wire and wireless technologies will have a chance to get their niche. In a broader perspective, the services connected with the telecommunications market, e.g. digital pay TV, will also play a more important role. The mobile market in Russia will not be driven by simple emission of millions of SIM cards, but rather by attracting customers to actively use new services. Non-voice and more advanced value-added services will continue to gain in significance and an increasing proportion of mobile carrier revenues will come from this source.
