Don't answer the problem with what you can't do. Always respond from a place of what you CAN do even when it isn't exactly what the customer is asking for.

Find the extra value you can give to your clients; from new product trials, discount coupons, referral points to express delivery or extended after sales service. Find something that's of value to them and offer it. View your negotiation as a value exchange discussion.

Wrapping up a deal is critical from a compliance perspective. All documentation needs to be carefully reviewed and counter signed by authorized signatories (processing a valid Power of Attorney).

Closures is the most happiest moment of any deal. However some of us get too excited as as fear that something may go wrong in the end process and in that bargain don't want to discuss openly the agreed as well as disagreed points .

A very important aspect as followup to negotiation is penning the deal, make sure it is contracted and the terms and conditions as clear for both the parties.

At the end of the day when you've done the homework, spent time and effort to build rapport and gaining their trust as a reliable business person if a customer trusts you and you can deliver to meet their goals do not hesitate to ask to close the deal. Some of my best deals were set in stone by a follow up call and asking for the business.
