Inquisitive
Questions create awareness. Be humble, curious, listen and create tailored strategies. Don’t negotiate on autopilot.

Focus on psychology and emotion, not just on rationality. Negotiate ‘In their world, to their benefit’, not ‘in your perceived rational world, to your benefit’.

The principle of ‘Never negotiate with yourself‘ is vital to build the confidence and comfort required to be a Sound Negotiator.
