Yes, EQ affects entirely customer negotiations since you have to show them that you understand them. Without the proper Emotional intellegence, you will not be able to connect to your client and will not get his sympathy. In negotiations, you have make them feel that you are one of them, that you understand them with proper professionalism and respect. You have to imply that you are a part of them. But of course, your emotional intelligence also dictates you to where you should stand for.
