The Great Debators

Defeat makes me Stronger.... Great Debaters

Strategic Negotiation and Conflict Management

Parkson Gibson

  • Do not tell your offer and Book value first.
  • Do not stick to a number. Avoid anchoring around a number.
  • First call should be carefully decided.
  • Bluff, don't show your cards, Ask interests. Try and find the BATNA of the counterpart.
BATNA: Best alternative to a negotiated agreement

Tale of Star crossed Lovers

  • Listen and ask questions. Seek intentions.
  • Do not make assumption
  • Understand the Question, positions and Interests
  • Listening is the biggest skill
  • Silence is very loud 
Use words carefully,'should' and 'could' are words reminding Moral code.

Conclusion:
  • Know your BATNA
  • Plan your strategy
  • Be modest and humble of how much you know
  • Weigh offers carefully
  • Offer carefully
  • Avoid Winner's Curse
