Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experienced negotiators typically prefer to begin negotiations on a morning in the middle of the workweek. This is because people tend to be more refreshed and energized in the morning, and starting negotiations in the middle of the workweek allows enough time for preparation and follow-up before the weekend. Beginning negotiations on a Monday or Friday can also be problematic as people may still be transitioning into or out of the workweek mindset. Thursday evenings can be challenging as people may be more focused on wrapping up their workweek and preparing for the weekend.
