Bargaining vs. Negotiation
Bargaining: Describes the competitive, win-lose situation.
Negotiation: Refers to win-win situations such as those that occur when parties try to find a mutually acceptable solution to a complex conflict.

@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
What is your preferred
negotiation style?
@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
Strategy Counts
Independent of the power you have at
the table, the choice of your negotiation
strategy is a CRITICAL FACTOR in
determining the outcome of the
negotiation.
@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
Five Negotiation Strategies
Competition
• Winning the deal without regards for a relationship
Collaboration
• Interested only in the relationship outcome
Accommodation
• Interested in both the deal substance and relationship
Avoidance
• Not interested in neither substance or relationship
Compromise
• Split the difference

STEP THREE:
Listen!
@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
Listen Carefully to What Your
Counterpart Says
By really listening, you can identify
information to use a leverage, or identify
options
Ask questions –particularly, “Why?”
@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
But if you want to make everyone happy…
@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
STEP FOUR:
Ask!
@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
Ground Yourself
The first negotiation may be with yourself.
✓ Why is it bothering you? What gets you “hooked”?
✓ What are your assumptions?
✓ What emotions are attached to the situation?
✓ What is your purpose of the negotiation? How will you start it?
✓ What will happen if I win the negotiation? What will happen if
you don’t?
@All rights reserved, Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow
BE PREPARED FOR “NO”
STRIKE A POWER POSE AND
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
USE PRECISE NUMBERS
RANK YOUR PRIORITIES
AND WHEN
YOU
RECEIVE
AN OFFER
