Setting the Stage: You just asked for a gift, and received a response that falls into one of three broad categories:
- Yes. That one is easy.
- "Let me think about it"-and all its variations, e.g., I have to talk to my <fill-in the blank>. "Let me think about it" is not a trigger to negotiate. Ask questions. The donor may simply need time to think. If you are uncertain, then err on the side of caution: don't negotiate. But do schedule a next visit.
- No way: "There is no way in the world I/we can do that" or "I/we can't possibly afford that much." You are listening for an absolute "no" that will be expressed through the words, voice tone and body language. It's time to negotiate.
