The power of the word "we": using "we" shifts your language to speaking about a common goal. It's not "I want this" or "my team wants that," it's "we're trying to..." or "we need to find..." Try it and see how the atmosphere changes. #negotiation #negotiationskills #negotiationtips #negotiationstrategy #business #businessdeals #businessstrategy #businesstips #communication #communicationskills #communicationtips #dealmaking #disputeresolution

Re: getting on the same side of the table... You're not trying to get them to come to "your" side. If that's your view, you're already doing it wrong. #negotiation #negotiationskills #negotiationtips #negotiationstrategy #business #businessdeals #businessstrategy #businesstips #dealmaking #communication #communicationskills #communicationtips #disputeresolution

Tip: don't try to get everything done in a single meeting. Debating other issues in a meeting not focused on them is unproductive. Do one thing at a time. You're less likely to derail the negotiation. #negotiation #negotiationstrategy #negotiationtips #negotiationskills #business #businessstrategy #businesstips #dealmaking #communication #communicationstrategy #communicationskills #communicationtips #businessdeals #disputeresolution

Ever negotiated with someone who will concede almost everything... except for one really big thing? This week on S4N, Gene explores Ronald Reagan's failed negotiation with Mikhail Gorbachev regarding the nuclear arms race - and breaks down why one man who conceded almost everything still couldn't get a deal done. Learn how to identify the other side's sticking point, explore and avoid the pitfalls of "shiny object syndrome," and gain negotiation tools straight from American diplomats. Plus, define asymmetric responses and how to handle them, discover how involving someone outside of the negotiation team can help resolve negotiated points, and dare to ask the ever-present question: are you fighting about nothing?

Have you ever tried this? It's a great way to put your finger on the pulse of what the other side REALLY wants - what they REALLY think is important. When you do this, you: - show that you want to understand - create a collaborative environment - remove roadblocks (e.g., finalizing a number) to big picture communication - reflect on both the content of the contract and the intention behind it - make room for the other side to consider their priorities Try it sometime! #negotiation #negotiationskills #negotiationtips #negotiationstrategy #business #businessdeals #businesstips #businessstrategy #dealmaking #disputeresolution #communication #communicationskills #communicationtips

Humans are hard wired to problem solve. The issue is that we tend to do that through our own lens - immediately pulling the problem back to our own world view - which gives the other side the implicit idea that we aren't really listening to them. That's the problem with autobiographical listening. If we immediately relate the idea to our own lives and try to forge ahead, we may be missing a key part of the puzzle. The other side is a unique individual, just like you. Make sure you're really hearing them and not just hearing what you think they said. #negotiation #negotiationskills #negotiationtips #negotiationstrategy #business #businesstips #businessstrategy #businessdeals #dealmaking #disputeresolution #communication #communicationskills #communicationtips

If you're listening to reply, you're missing out on critical communication. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
