Use the Power of Arguing to Win Your Next Negotiation


Book Description

As individuals we have a tendency to shy away from getting involved in arguments. We view them as being confrontational and filled with emotions. However, when it comes to negotiating and when we have a different view of the world than the other side of the table, it turns out that a little bit of arguing might be just what the doctor ordered. What You'll Find Inside: 6 THINGS A SALES NEGOTIATOR NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT USING THREATS DURING A NEGOTIATION GET WHAT YOU WANT BY BRINGING A PURPLE MONKEY TO YOUR NEXT NEGOTIATION LEGAL INTIMIDATION: 5 WAYS TO DEFEND AGAINST IT NEGOTIATORS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH EXPERTS Every negotiation is a fast flowing affair. This means that a skilled negotiator knows to not make up his or her mind too early on in the negotiations so that they can remain flexible and open to new ideas. If we get backed into a corner during the negotiations, we may consider using threats to work our way out. However, as with everything in life, there are ramifications to using threats. The good news about a negotiation is that as a negotiator you don't have to be perfect. This means that you are not required to know everything. Additionally, during the negotiation if it suits you, you can act irrationally. Do be careful about coming across as being too smooth of a negotiator because if you do, then nobody will like you. During a negotiation you'll have many decisions that you'll have to make. Taking the high ground is one that always seems to pay off. Using standards to back up your position can help establish your credibility. To take this one step further, you need to be aware of any applicable regulations and laws that pertain to the issues being negotiated and you need to use them to the fullest extent. Our goal in any negotiation is to be able to reach a deal that we can live with. In order to make this happen we can do extraordinary things like bringing a purple money to the negotiations. We also have to learn how to deal with any legal intimidation that the other side may throw at us. We'll have to be prepared to stand our ground if the other side tries to raise the stakes or brings experts into the negotiations.

Negotiating the Impossible


Book Description

“Filled with great strategies you can immediately put to use in your business and personal lives . . . extremely entertaining, thought-provoking.” —Tyra Banks, CEO, TYRA Beauty, and creator of America’s Next Top Model Some negotiations are easy. Others are more difficult. And then there are situations that seem completely hopeless. Conflict is escalating, people are getting aggressive, and no one is willing to back down. And to top it off, you have little power or other resources to work with. Harvard professor and negotiation adviser Deepak Malhotra shows how to defuse even the most potentially explosive situations and to find success when things seem impossible. Malhotra identifies three broad approaches for breaking deadlocks and resolving conflicts, and draws out scores of actionable lessons using behind-the-scenes stories of fascinating real-life negotiations, including drafting of the US Constitution, resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis, ending bitter disputes in the NFL and NHL, and beating the odds in complex business situations. But he also shows how these same principles and tactics can be applied in everyday life, whether you are making corporate deals, negotiating job offers, resolving business disputes, tackling obstacles in personal relationships, or even negotiating with children. As Malhotra reminds us, regardless of the context or which issues are on the table, negotiation is always, fundamentally, about human interaction. No matter how high the stakes or how protracted the dispute, the object of negotiation is to engage with other human beings in a way that leads to better understandings and agreements. The principles and strategies in this book will help you do this more effectively in every situation. “This book is magic for any deal maker.” —Daniel H. Pink, New York Times-bestselling author

WIN-WIN NEGOTIATION


Book Description

Negotiation skills are about two things: influence, and this is the leadership qualities you have, and the power of persuasion and reaching agreement. These two qualities can be practiced daily because the negotiation process never stops. You will always want something you don't have and to get the service or product you want you will have to turn to the person or people who do. Bargaining, as I said, is the way to satisfy an interest. It is, without doubt, a form of communication and persuasion, which is why we have introduced both persuasion and communication into the Culture of Value. It is information that if you go through it you will be able to succeed better in your quest to get what you want. Negotiation is a skill that can be learned easily. It helps you cope in certain circumstances. You can use negotiation techniques in sales, purchases, contracts. The most important thing is that a negotiator learns to prepare. It depends on how much you want to get what you want in the end. The more you want, the better you will prepare for the negotiation and show during the negotiation process that you are not so interested in the final result. A good negotiator knows how to plan everything efficiently and well. All you need to do is to value your ideas and believe that you are valuable. Negotiating is not a battle, not for today or tomorrow but for your whole life. I can only challenge you to read this book as well as the others in Value Culture and wish you success!
