10. Close  all  negotiations  by  clearly  outlining  agreement.  When
                              agreement or conclusions have been reached and you are ready to
                              end your negotiation, review the agreement that has been reached.
                              Then, end your negotiation on a positive note... commending those
                              involved and emphasizing the progress made.

                           Using  the  following  suggested  checklist  of  skills  and  language
                           vocabulary make up a dialogue about successful negotiation.

                           Let’s  think  about  the  issue  of

                           ……                                    Main speaker

                           Accepting                               Listen.
                           We agree.                               Don’t fill silences.
                           That seems acceptable.                  Build       on    common
