(tangibleVs intangible)
Intangibility is one of several unique challenges in selling a service
versus a product. Consumers buying a service can’t kick the tires- visit
an accountant, dress designer, interior designer, lawyer, and
hairdresser and so on – you can’t try out the service before you buy it.
Service Selling-
#1 Strategy- focus on customer need
#2 Strategy- focus on your expertise
#3 Strategy- focus on value

fixed sum or value. The key question is who will win the
bigger part of the pie. A gain of one party is made at the
expense of the other.

some cooperation and hence often involves a higher
degree of trust and the forming of mutually beneficial
long term relationship. It can also involve creative

Negotiation
Information
Interestingly enough
the most important is
not the Power itself
but how it is perceived.
Power in some sense is
similar to beauty that
lies in the eye of the
beholder.
Another way to put it
is, if you are perceived
in the position of
Power, you have it.

51. We need to ask our self the following questions
 Why we entering into the negotiation?
 What are our objective?
 Who will we be negotiating with?
 When will suit us best to hold the negotiations?
 What should be our choice of style?
 How high should we pitch our initial demands?
 What order should we set for offering our concessions & what else might
we be prepared to include?
 Who do we need to include in our team?What will their respective roles
be?
 How much time will we need to reserve
 What assumptions have we made in our planning?
51

52.  Identify the decision maker from the opposing team.
 Formalize your objectives in terms of priorities
 Establish what their objectives & priorities might be
52

53.  Consider all the variables in the other side’s case & estimate the
probable cost to them if they concede any of those to you.
 Finally value the benefits of the other side’s variables to you
 If both sides are to move from their starting position by trading
concessions, the initial offer you open with- must be more favorable
to you than where you hope to settle eventually.
 Otherwise you will be having nothing to exchange
 Hence in setting out your opening gambit, you need to include a
negotiating margin & aim high
53

54. The more you explore, the less the other side will be able or get
opportunity to explore your case or position and hence more
you will be able to control the course of the discussion.
In the due course of probing, try to obtain the full shopping
list of items/issues they want to negotiate.
Listen Carefully
what they say
Listen how
they say it
Observe &
Analyze
54

55.  Deadlock is one of the most counterproductive and
undesirable of all the situations and conclusions of
negotiation that can result in breakdown in negotiation.
 The negotiators should always be alert for its possibilities
and try to avoid it.
 The only exception is where the negotiator use deadlock
as a tactic to galvanize the opponent to take the
favourable action.
Breaking the deadlock-
A) Try to avoid the immovable positions.
B) Bridging the GAP
55

56. Raise strong arguments
Present weaker arguments
Finally come up with
“Sledgehammer”
56

57.  An excellent negotiation practice/tactic is to:
1) Summarize from time to time, what your discussion
has covered.
2) Probe ambiguities before they become
misunderstandings.
 It also gives time for new ideas & re-appraisal of old ones.
 This acts as a recess.
57

58.  Golden Rule - Goal commitment not only
agreement.
 Use a pause in your speech prior to making any
offer- between the lines.
 If you can meet, accept or deliver the following
conditions 1…, 2…, 3…, n…, we will be
prepared to consider offering the following:
1…, 2…, and 3…, n….. Our reason for doing so
is a…, b…, c…, …z…
58

59. Difficult people exist everywhere. They
come in every variety and no
workplace is without them. How
difficult a person is for you to deal with
depends on your self-esteem, your self-
confidence and your professional skills
and courage.
It’s far better to address the difficult
person while you can maintain some
objectivity, patience and emotional
control.
Types of Difficult People-
 The “ShermanTank”
 The “Exploder”
 The “Complainer”
 The "Clam"
 The “Wet Blanket”
 The “Know-It-All”
 The “Staller”
59

60.  Idea Opponent-
An idea opponent is
one who disagrees on a
particular issue or
alternative on the basis
of rational and logical
facts.
 Visceral Opponent-
Visceral opponent is an
emotional adversary,
who not only disagrees
with your point of view,
but also as a human
being.
60

61.  Ethics is a system of moral principles or values.
 Typically, these people feel that negotiation is what a
salesperson does to get them to buy or try to push off his/her
products and services. But this is not the reality. In fact, every
one of us negotiates in almost all walks of our day to day life.
 There are 9 tips will ensure that you build all your
negotiations on the foundation of ethics--which will, by the
way, increase your possibility of achieving win-win outcomes
