Power Negotiating - Vise, Never Offer To Split the Difference, and Hot Potato
Increase your bottom line with decisive and reactive power negotiating techniques. Learn how to employ the vise by demanding a better offer and suggesting a single, absolute solution. Force your adversaries to offer to split the difference, making them feel, after you reluctantly accept, that they have won. Confront "hot potatoes," such as insufficient budgets, with unswerving challenge statements. The bottom line is the dollar, not the percentage, and this course will help increase yours.

Power Negotiating Principles - Service Value, Trade-Off and Nibble
"What can you do for me?" Asking this question will elevate the value of a trade-off in your negotiations. The trade-off principle of power negotiating transforms an apparent compromise into a valuable end. This course also stresses the principles of elevating your service value by establishing fee requirements in advance. Buyers may attempt to "nibble" for additional concessions once you've closed the deal. Learn how, at the most vulnerable point of your negotiation, the close, you can prevent the possibility of nibbling.

You, too, will be in a position to conceal. Learn how keeping a low authority profile will give you additional consideration, time and protection against a premature decision.

Gaining an appreciation of cultural predispositions will guide your negotiations to positive ends.

Pressures of Power Negotiating
Time and money can be scarce resources in negotiations. At some point in your negotiation, you will have to assess if the time and money pressures warrant continued effort. One of your considerations may be the extent of your information power. This course outlines effective means of acquiring information power from admitting you don't know to selecting an environment conducive for obtaining information. With information power and time and money perspective in tow, you will be empowered with the confidence that you are able to walk away if desirable outcomes are not imminent.
