• Don’t Bargain Over Positions
   – Arguing over positions produces unwise outcomes
   – Arguing over positions is inefficient
   – Arguing over positions endangers an ongoing relationship
   – When there are many parties, positional bargaining is
     even worse
   – Being nice is no answer

Cooperative negotiation: Negotiating is not

                       It is joint problem solving

                       Our goal is to efficiently reach a
                       satisfying agreement for both parties, and
                       to conclude on a positive note.

                       Fisher and Ury define negotiations as
                       “Back and forth communication to reach
                       agreement where some interests are
                       shared and some interests are opposed.

Insist on using objective criteria
• Deciding on the basis of will is costly
• The case for using objective criteria:
   – Principled negotiation produces wise agreements amicably
     & efficiently
• Developing objective criteria:
   – Fair standards
   – Fair procedures
• Negotiating with objective criteria:
   –   Frame each issue as a joint search for objective criteria
   –   Ask “What’s your theory?”
   –   Reason and be open to reason
   –   Never yield to pressure

Listening is your most powerful negotiating tool
But before you can listen, you
  have to be skilled at asking
  questions:

Three critical questioning skills
1. Know where your questions
   are going
2. Ask for permission to ask
   questions
3. State why you want to ask
   questions

Step Four - Bargain
• Key words are IF and THEN
• Start making concession:
  – Every concession should have a condition
       (IF you … THEN I will … )
  – Conserve your concessions - don’t give
    everything away too soon
  – You don’t have to share every piece of
    information with the opposing side!
  – Don’t be afraid to say no

Step Five - Agree

• Gain commitment
• Record and agree results
• Leave satisfied

The stages in the negotiation

• It is important to understand that negotiation
  is a process that begins before we sit down at
  the table and does not end if we do not know
  how to make the agreements reached
  effective.

    Starting point Startingpoint • Don’t Bargain Over Positions – Arguing over positions produces unwise outcomes – Arguing over positions is inefficient – Arguing over positions endangers an ongoing relationship – When there are many parties, positional bargaining is even worse – Being nice is no answer – There is an alternative… Guadalupe de la Mata 9 www.innovationforsocialchange.org
