“You have to go out and learn to negotiate–it’s not a natural skill,” says Eldonna Lewis-Fernandez, author of Think Like a Negotiator. “It’s like playing baseball; you have to do it to get good at it.”
In front of the mirror. Every day as you wake up. But honestly like any other skills. Its best to practice it at any given opportunity. Going for a grocet=ry, having other things done. Learn to talk and get what you want.
Market is the place to enhance this skill.
Life teaches negotiations more than anything. Try it with your family, Set a target and try your best to get things moved to your side.
Practice at home with your children. The best guinea pigs are often the children whose behavior seems irrational to you and whose objectives go beyond your usual standards. The surprise they will experience in your attitude change will be your best indicator of success.
Use immagination: immagine the customer in front of you, immagine each of his answers to each of your arguments. Also imagine how he feels about each of the attitudes you will adopt during your advocacy and list your weaknesses and strengths.
Practice this type of exercise and you will develop your negotiation skills.
Thanks
In my opinion..... Manager has to learn it with his-her team, while an employee practice it on the field inside the market !

Totally agree with your description as well,
I personally would practice it with an entrusted/close person so that he/she plays the role of the other party and replies back natural questions or answers to carry out the negotiation properly. Thus BATNA maybe created through practice as well.
I believe that the market and physical sales meetings is the best place to enhance my negotiating skills.
