Coalition, do we want to join or not to join the coalition.


What is a coalition? We may want to determine that factor out before we know if we want to join them or to plot against them. What do we have to gain or lose in this situation? Do we want to become friends or allies with the others? These are just a few questions that we need to think about before we really know if we want to be a join a coalition or if we want to stay away from them.


A coalition is when there are others with similar interests wanting the same end result. How you get there may vary depending on what you have to offer. Normally it happens when the person who has the greater amount unintentionally show the others the power they have which pushes the others who have less separately have more when they are joined otherwise know as a coalition is formed. The people  who had less are plotting to work against the one who had more in order to them the two of them the better deal in the end.


A real life coalition for me would be when my sister and I were trying to make a sale on Facebook
for a floor lamp. I actually can negotiate when it comes to buying and selling when decorating is involved. So my little sister wanted a floor lamp and there is a lady who didn't want to go down in price at all. I starting talking to the lady and I had got the price lowered considerably. I had my sister keep talking to her to see what she would say. Since I was the one who had closed the sale and was going to up the item I requested some compensation for this. We had  worked together to get what she wanted the floor lamp and at a low price, and I got to take part in a great sale and walked away feeling good about standing my ground and getting higher compensation than expected. When we first started speaking to the lady I was lucky to get her to drop it at all because she was one of those people who wrote "FIRM". Then, after I formed a relationship with her and discussed the item it was easier to talk to her and have the ball in my court. The lady then would not respond to my sister that is how much she wanted my sale.
