  8. 2. Exchanging Information • The most important stage of negotiation • Both parties will be trying to find out and understand the other’s requirements and position besides aiming to get their objectives achieved • Ask all possible questions and spend over twice the amount of time acquiring and clarifying information

  9. 3. Bargaining • As soon as a number or term is mentioned by one party or exchange of terms occur • Reject constructively Do not cause offence. E.g. “I’m afraid we can’t possibly agree to a reduction in the service charge, but there might be room for plan on the wording of clause16”. Retain a constructive atmosphere. • Be firm on broad issues and be flexible on specifics

  10. 3. Bargaining (Con’t) • Note the moving base line As each issue is agreed, acknowledge the fact, summarise it, and move on to the next point after you have noted the issue of agreement • Look for the agreement signals Certain formulae of words indicate that agreement is very close. (E.g. “If….then….”“Let’s put that in round numbers. ”“Well, that’s hardly worth holding us up..”)

  11. 4. Closing & Commitment • Your judgement : Is this best and final offer? • If ‘Yes’: • List the agreement in detail • List the points of explanation, clarification and interpretation • Record agreed summary with all at the table • Re-start negotiations for any argument over agreement
