7 negotiation secrets:

Simplify the Process


Deep down, humans
are not complicated.
There are only 3 questions to ask:

• What do they want?


• Why do they want it?
• How can I help them get it
(while still winning myself)?

Unnecessary complexity
breeds inefficient negotiation.

Build Indebtedness
Ever heard of the Reciprocity Bias?

In a nutshell: humans return favors.

How can you leverage this?

• Give them a gift


• Do them a favor
• Make a concession

They'll likely return the favor.

Apply Loss Aversion

People fear loss more


than they desire gain.
Frame your negotiation around
what they will LOSE rather than
what they will gain.

• We will save $X
• The timing will never be this perfect

The game changes when the


risk of loss enters the room.

Leverage Recency Bias


Our minds tend to weigh recent
information more heavily.

Use this natural bias to your


advantage in negotiations.
• Use recent successes
• Bring up relevant recent events

You're only as good as your


last project.

Use Data
Let the numbers do the talking.
Words are cool but numbers convince.

Get a list of all your:


• Core metrics
• Relevant KPIs (that your boss cares about)
• Concrete list of things you've accomplished

Data sells. Leverage it.

Put Yourself in Their Shoes

Everyone has motives.


Appeal to them.
Link whatever it is you want with
what THEY will get in return.

(Hint: it's often revenue linked)

Examples:
• My role will drive $X
• This software will save us $Y

It's about them, not you.

Assume a Positive Outcome


How you enter a negotiation
creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When you walk in fearless, you


become more:
• Logical
• Confident
• Thoughtful

The result? A more persuasive


argument and a higher positive
response rate.
