What Really happened

Easterly lost early challenge

Easterly makes $120K offer..Brims rejects…No counter.

Easterly loses more appeals..goes to court

Responding to call Brim asks Easterly for best offer

Easterly offers USD220K…Brim refuses

Deal at USD 250K plus extras (USD 25K)


Hindsight..Brims had stronger case / less pressure
Exercise

Lesson’s learnt: Brim’s lawyer


Never underestimate risks of escalation

They (buyer) transformed a business matter


into emotional battle

“Avoid day-late-pound short” problem

Its easy to get greedy

Getting info: Create The Illusion of Control

Illusion of Take away Control Give Control


Technique: Power of How

Gangster: We have kidnapped your son and if you don’t pay us


USD 1 MN we will kill him

Father: How do I know if my son is actually alive and well? and How
am I supposed to get USD 1MN?

Father converted his problem to the gangsters problem while giving


illusion of control!
Technique Example3: Power of No

Party 1: This is our final offer take it or leave it

Party 2: If you were in our shoes would you like this offer put
to you?

Party 1: No

Every No” gets me close to a “Yes”


Technique Example 1: Power of No

Seller:Doesn’t it look ridiculous that we bought new cars recently


and here we are selling our whole business..

Buyer: No, Something like this happened to me when…..

“No- Oriented” Q is more powerful than a “Yes-Oriented” Q

A “yes” oriented Q give a feel of being asked to make a commitment.


Technique: Power of No

making ineffective
decisions

Helps people feel


safe, emotionally
