NEGOTIATION
G G
PLANNING
WORKSHEET
Successful Negotiations means Everyone Wins; Focus on Needs Have a clear sense of your target - what you want to achieve [Range: Minimum … Maximum] Set / discuss the desired outcomes (for both parties) in the 1st 2 minutes of the negotiation session - set expectations clearly and early. After defining the general outcomes, you can fine-tune the issues more clearly and give greater focus to the discussion to lead towards a resolution.
If goals are not set clearly, only 10% of time is spent on common problem solving.

Know what to and how much to say (know when to stop pushing) and especially what not to say. Remember, to persuade, you need to have 3 elements in place:
Problem/Solution Language/Speech (reason, data, logic, facts)
Logos
“You” attitude – dealing with feelings, emotions, and psychological needs.
Ethics and values (character, honesty, trust, guiding beliefs)

Need All Three
Ethos
Pathos (empathy & tone)
Never set your price down first - you give away your entire position to the other party. Control your emotions - loss of control will lead to loss in desired outcomes. Consider the real issues as opposed to the perceived issues: What is really going on? Do not focus on positions or people! Focus on the problem and do not get personal. Do not rebut or plan to counter people's information - instead learn more and propose a better solution: Question? Information Given
Don't

Recipe for disaster - cutting off the information that is being given. Ask another question instead.

Unless it is a matter of survival (life & death), you cannot lose if you negotiate from a position of principle.
