LESSON NOTES
============
The best negotiators research the facts and psychology. Shell calls this Information-based Bargaining.
1. Information-based bargaining focuses on three primary tactics:
a. Preparation
b. Listening
c. Attentiveness
To non-verbal as well as verbal cues
2. Understanding the psychology of the other party is important. But you also need a clear understanding of your own psychology and limits.
3. Reciprocity is crucial to crafting a successful agreement.
4. Leverage arises from perceived strengths, rather than actual strengths.
5. Closing is the hardest phase of a negotiation. Shell focuses on two strategies:
a. The scarcity effect
FOMO
b. Overcommitment
Loss Aversion – sunk cost fallacy
People are reluctant to admit failure or accept loss once they have invested heavily in a particular course of action
