Part 1: Preparation

  • What’s your motivation, desired outcome? Reflect on past experiences.
  • Your market value? Bargaining power?
  • The other side of the table: research external factors to get to yes!
  • What’s your upper and lower limit?
  • BATNA: Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement. Could be where you are now, where nothing changes.

Part 2: Practice

  • It’s important to rehearse and anticipate blockers:
  • Write down your plan
  • Identify flash points, practice responding to:
    • We have no budget
    • We don’t negotiate on this
    • You will have to wait X months
  • Rehearse, debrief, repeat
  • Nurture your power and confidence

Part 3: Execution

  • Imagine your negotiation conversation is like match day, you need all the elements to come together to win:
  • Timing
  • Likeability factor and The Smile Game: “be relentlessly pleasant”
  • Silence = power. Wait when you drop your number
  • Didn’t hear no? Aiming too low…
  • Why you should aim high, and why it’s important to justify that with data
  • It’s only over when you decide. It may be no for now… but in a few month’s time?
