- Leverage: Use positive, negative, and normative leverage to influence the other party.
- "No" as a Beginning: Use "no" for clarification and deeper understanding.
- Strive for "That's Right": Seek genuine understanding and agreement for behavioral change.
Key Techniques and Tactics
- Mirroring: Imitate the other person's behavior to build rapport and trust.
- Labeling: Verbalize the other person's emotional state, using phrases like "It seems like," "It sounds like," or "It looks like."
- Strategic Use of Voice: Use vocal tones to influence the emotional atmosphere.
- Calibrated Questions: Use open-ended questions starting with "how" or "what" to guide the conversation, while avoiding "why".
- Accusation Audit: Address potential negative perceptions up front.
- "That's Right" Technique: Guide the other party to a point of feeling understood and validated.
- Reality Bending with Framing: Frame the negotiation to influence the other party's perception of value and options.
- Identify Black Swans: Look for rare pieces of information that can shift leverage.
Leverage
- Positive Leverage: Provide or withhold something the other party wants.
- Negative Leverage: Ability to make the other party suffer, use with caution.
- Normative Leverage: Use the other party's norms to advance your position.
Bargaining Hard
- Know Your Counterpart: Identify if they are an Accommodator, Assertive, or Analyst.
- Prepare: Set an ambitious, but legitimate goal.
- Extreme Anchoring: Deflect extreme anchors with questions.
- The Acriman Model: Includes: Target, initial offer at 65%, decreasing raises to 85/95/100%, empathy, precise non-round numbers, and a non-monetary item at the end.
Implementation
- 7-38-55 Rule: 7% of a message is based on words, 38% tone of voice, and 55% body language, so pay attention to tone and body language.
- Rule of Three: Get the other party to agree to the same thing three times in the same conversation for commitment.
