11. Steps in Negotiation Planning
Team
It is important to select only team members who
have the capability of using more than one style.
Issues/Questions
List any issue likely to be important to the
negotiation or that the other side might bring up.
Don't open up issues that involve a weakness you
know exists.
12. Contd.
Priority
All issues should be rated as follows:
Musts: If the negotiator doesn't get any one of the Must Issues; it
is some degree of failure.
Wants: These are issues to actively "fight" for. But, if the
negotiator does not get one or more of them, the negotiation is
still successful.
Gives: These are issues that would be "nice to have." The only
reason to fight for them is to create value for the other side, as
you give them up. Give issues are needed to have some items to
"trade away."
13. Contd.
Value
Each issue (or need) must have a value. Thus, the
negotiator should know the value of each issue and
what their value to the other side could be.
Settlement Range
It is essential to clearly establish the objectives for
each issue. These should be as quantifiable as possible
and set an upper and lower limit.
14. Contd.
Backup Information
This is an ongoing step. The negotiator needs
information to back-up statements about the issues and to
discount the other side's statements.
Other Side's Issues and Objectives
Anticipate the other side's issues and objectives. The
degree to which the negotiator is able to do this will be a
signal that the planning has been successful.
15. The secret of effective negotiation is
dealing from strength, and strength
comes from preparation.
-David Stern
16. You can't get what you
don't ask for
&
Don't give without
getting.
