17th birthday – persuasion practice session • Both groups have 10 minutes to prepare for the negotiation. • Each group list all the variables you may need in order to persuade the other party to your way of thinking. Remember you can’t make the other party agree but you can persuade them.
17thbirthday – persuasion practice session • Team A = Parents • Team B = Teenagers approaching 17th birthday • Parents - You are looking forward to your son/daughters 17th birthday. You have already told them that you have bought them a series of driving lessons. You feel this is an extravagant present as most teenagers have to work and pay for their own lessons. • Teenagers - You are grateful for receiving driving lessons and appreciate how hard your parents work. However, ALL your friends get driving lessons plus a car for their 17th. You express how you feel and work to persuade your parents you should have a car too.
Using Emotion • Be in control of your emotions – don’t let them control you! • Use from a sincerely held belief • Use early in the negotiation • Use to increase the “perceived value” of your bargaining • Use to counter logic
Using logic • Don’t be too quick to ask “Why?” • Get your own logic in first • Keep to one powerful argument – don’t dilute • Be credible • If others can’t see it, change tack • Counter logic with emotion
Using threat • Be slow to threaten • Threaten at the business, not the person • Use a discreet or veiled threat • Never make a threat you can’t ….. • Be credible • Add “if” to transfer threat to bargaining
Using bargaining • Don’t expose your position early • Don’t put a marker down • Don’t seem too eager to move • Move, in small steps, • Get a return for any concession you make • Thank and bank
Using compromise The behaviour of last resort • 50/50 is not the only compromise • Compromise favours the more extreme party • Let the other party suggest compromise… …..the one suggesting compromise probably accepts or moves towards the position of the other…..

OpeningThe Vital First Impression • Timekeeping • Politeness • Physical appearance and dress • Personal hygiene • The hand shake • Eye contact • Smile • The opening words
Testing • To test the validity of the assumptions we have made • To see where movement in the other party is likely to come from • To understand what is likely to be expected of us
Testing – questioning techniques Types of question • Open • Closed • Probing • Multiple • Leading • Reflective • Hypothetical
Moving To achieve the maximum movement from the other party and make minimum movement yourself, in relation to your targets
Encouraging movement • Progressive and enthusiastic summary “So we’re agreed on the menus and the opening hours - we’re getting through it, let’s move on” • Thank and bank “Thank you. I appreciate it. Can we move on to…” “Thanks for that, I do appreciate the offer, it’s a good move, however could you look again at…”
Concluding • To reach a workable agreement • To record what has been agreed • To agree the next steps • To condition for next time
