How do you identify interests:
? Ask Why ? Ask Why Not: Think about their choices

? ?

Understand Human Needs Talk about Interests

Diagnosis: 4 obstacles

? Premature judgment ? Searching for the single answer ? The assumption of a fixed pie ? Thinking that solving their problem is their problem

?

Prescription:

? Separate inventing options from

deciding
? Broaden the options rather than look

for a single answer: The circle chart
? Search for mutual gains: identify

shared interests
? Make their decision easy

Distributive Strategy: Claiming all the profit or the maximum share for oneself—winning it all Integrative Strategy: Creating Value (expanding the pie) and finding solutions that best fit needs of all or most parties—especially over time. Mixed-Motive Strategy: Expanding the pie and meeting the needs of all or most parties as much as possible while claiming appropriate share.

BATNA is your power in negotiations Reservation Price is your worst deal acceptable. It is based on BATNA What is Bargaining zone or ZOPA (area of overlap of RPs) What is the role of Aspiration point (Target): keeps you motivated

Aspirations The Openings (who makes the first offer) Anchorings Pattern of concessions (larger first and small later to signal that you are reaching your RP) Threats (if you continue negotiating after that you lose credibility)

SIMPLE AND DIRECT ? You’ve worked with the party before ? Deal is bogging down ? Immediate closure is a goal PRESS AND PUSH ? Your side is stronger ? The other side needs a quick close ? You want to asses limits

COOL & ALOOF ? The other side is stronger ? Your side is under time pressure ? You have other alternative deals

?

Patience: helps to defuse and control the deal

?
? ? ?

Slow Agony: Defense against High Pressure
Apathy: Defense against High Pressure Empathy: Breaks deadlocks & Bridge Gaps Sudden Shifts: To dislodge blockages and overcome obstacles

?

Faking: An art in Trading

?

Walking: When other side has more power and pushed you too hard Fait Accompli: To control a critical issue Salami: To make small gains

? ?

?
? ?

Limits: To set bounds to further pushing
Deadlines: To clinch a deal Antagonism: Not a good tactic: evokes same response

?

Limited Authority: Side A uses to bargain hard, to use time for agonizing and testing patience. Counter: by Asking what the authority wants and the way they want. Bottom Line: To help you come up with creative solution to ensure a deal. Saying No: To get “No” to elicit why of it and know the needs of the customer more

?

?

?

Expectation and Control: Split non-negotiable with negotiable Auction: Find out where is it the lowest and then build solutions/trade-offs around it. Rationale: Satisfies the others and makes them negotiate Concessions: Make it conditional and not unilateral

?

?

?

Interests, Rights and Power

Do your Homework Build relationships whenever possible Avoid quick concessions Accentuate the positives Maintain your composure Don’t Give up
