The negotiation framework is simple yet powerful. Apply this framework and get what you want much more often.
Compliments don’t cost much, but they are effective.
Parties with more alternatives and lower needs have the most power. How can you put yourself in a position of power when negotiating? Also, how can you adapt to a situation where the other party has more power?
Pro tip: Write out your opening statement ahead of time.
“This pen went to the moon and back”
“It’s only $8,000”
(Write them down)
The more you know and understand this person, the better your chances are of a successful negotiated outcome. What are the “pictures in their head”? What keeps them up at night? What are their hopes and dreams?
Being incremental wins every time vs. trying to get everything right off the bat.
