How To Deal With Assertive People | Chris Voss

[@mariapilarme]

I went to buy a car 5 years ago, I walked inside the first guy that came he asked me , how can I help you? I told him, you wouldn’t be able to sell me a car in less than an hour. I don’t even know if I can qualify for the loan. The guy was confused and he said less check if you do. He came back and I qualified for a 0% loan because of my credit. In less than an hour I walked out of the car dealer with my car and I pay what I thought was the right amount. No hassle, not headache, fast and very smooth. This is the first time in my live that I brought a car in less than an hour. Of course I did my homework first about the price, the 0% interest and I was calm an I really enjoy it.

assertive types: 6:38 "getting what they want is 3rd on their list" "being in control is number one on their list, and thats emotionally satisfying" "the alpha type that we refer to as assertive, the one thing thats more important than getting what they want is being respected and making sure that you know everything about what they're coming from off" 7:20 "Its really more important to them that they felt that they conducted themselves respectably, that you respected them, and that you knew where they were coming from,. and when you know these things, they'll actually soften up on what they want." 7:43 "When they're demanding, what they're saying to you subtlety is " i want you to know how important this to me, i want you to know how important i am" Talk about them as if they were someone known as respected, or worthy of admiration/respect 8:00 gives some examples. 8:30 'stroking their ego is not a bad thing' 10:50 "if you're dealing with someone, especially an assertive that might forget what they said or what they committed to because they were just too busy being aggressive, when you get in the moment, the rule of three, is this idea that we got confirmation from someone or something, three times before we move forward." 11:08 "Number one because people have a tendency to remember something they agreed to three times, and number two it also creates an emotional moment that we can refer back to later on in the timeline, lets say something blows up, we can go back to 'when you said this three times, how was i supposed to interpret that' 11:33 'do you got a problem with me doing x' "thats your first of three confirmations in the moment" "you can also easily follow that up with a label, 'sounds like you're not going to have any issue with this?' You can also paraphrase it. 'So you're good with me taking on this effort and handling it this way', "Now you've gotten that three times, and if something blows up, or they change their mind down the line, you've got all for all intents and purposes the instant defense, 'when we talked about this last week and you asked this three times, What did You want Me to interpret from that', "Now you're essentially off the hook." 12:25 "and then Another one thats just in general for dealing with assertive, they like to talk, they usually have a dissertation to get off their chest, 12:39 mirrors are a great way to navigate through that dissertation, and specifically when you're mirroring, right as they're going on and on, they're going to say stuff thats actually important to you, eventually they're going to say something thats you want them to focus on, thats what you end up mirroring, and it very much directs their thought process, very much like a pinball in a pinball machine, your flippers are the mirrors, for all intents and purposes." 13:

I work with an assertive - best technique for me, has been priming them - like if I need to say a flat no. I’ll prime them little by little - bit bit by bit, where eventually when they I say a flat out NO, I’ve mentioned this before. It has - for me, worked for me every time.

Used some of your methods today as in "negotiations" with barristers over forced covid jab of learning disabled in the UK. Slippery eels these types. They know what they want and engineer their positions to achieve. Did get them to snap and then said you're so gracious which definitely disarmed. Very hard to configure questions to exact the negative also but hopefully I'll learn and fast for full trial coming soon

Tom Girardi was charged with multiple counts of wire fraud for stealing money from clients for 10 years. And, other lawyers at his law firm were sanctioned for mishandling client money. It makes me really think about how you interact with people and the fact that you can never ever be 100% certain of someone’s intentions. Are they truly trying to build a relationship with you for mutual benefit or is there psychopathic harm involved in the case of the now disgraced Tom Girardi?

I hate to say is but I have such a hard time "stroking egos" that are already GIGANTIC in the mind of the "assertive" or as I call them narcissists. I agree that it's probably to my advantage to flatter them and coddle them with inflating lies. It's STILL SO HARD for me.

I keep following BSG and I look for ways to just talk Russia into leaving Ukraine the way they are leaving Kherson. It may take time but it could go much faster than how long they took in Afghanistan. I also want to influence people in Toronto, to encourage them to ride bicycles and build bike lanes. So many people are against bike lanes and against cyclists. It could take a while. Keep up the good work, Chris Voss and Lewis Howes. Keep being nice guys. Let's talk nice to Russia, to bring this war in Ukraine to an end.

[@mackhomie6]

wait...what? you are looking for ways to talk Russia into leaving Ukraine? lol how does that work

[@dougwedel9484]

@@mackhomie6 I'm inspired by the stories in Chris' book Never Split The Difference. There was a story about an American taken hostage in the Philippines. He just walked away after Chris coached a negotiator to get a That's Right out of the kidnapper. What is happening in Russia is a lot more complicated but the same techniques can be used there. I look for opportunities to use an accusations audit on Russians.

[@dougwedel9484]

@@mackhomie6 It sounds like you are surprised with my idea. Maybe you really are not aware of the power of words. Keep in mind, eventually there will be an end to the war in Ukraine and it will come with verbal negotiations. While the fighting carries on, there is a constant discussion between Russians and Ukrainians plus many other countries, including Americans. All of these people can talk Russia into walking away from Ukraine if they just figure out what words to say and how to say them. Sun Tsu said in his book The Art of War Those who win every battle are not really skillful. Those who render others' armies helpless without fighting are the best of all. His book is about war but he was not a war monger. He treated war the way a doctor treats cancer, something to fight and end asap. Look for what happened in Kherson recently. Ukraine isolated 40,000 Russian soldiers so they could not get supplies. They blew up bridges so they could not cross the Dnipro River and were basically under siege. So after 2 months of literal starvation of their best troops they had to withdraw their soldiers. And Ukraine let Russia do that. If it were me, I would have taken all of them as POW's but they thought better of that and let them go. That was in part through negotiation with Russia. More is to come. Acusation Audits will be part of Ukraine's success. Chris spoke about Ukraine in one of his videos but was very timid with it. He knows things can go disastrously wrong when you try to negotiate. But they can go disastrously wrong with weapons too, so it's worth taking the chance. And if we win, we win peace.

I am not up to speed on President Putin but I sense his ego was perhaps damaged somehow and perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel. I would never use a negative dark psychology phrase for a brand name for example, as an impulsive ego could wrongly assume I am the enemy? Flip a coin? Bicycle lanes honestly are an eye sore and waste of money in my opinion. I just laid enough concrete and rebar to support 50 tons traveling down the street without cracking sewer pipes and you want to draw lane lines for vehicles weighing 300 lbs? Then we have the issue of bicyclists being frequent victims of hit and run, sometimes because frequent pot holes are so noisy if you did not see the bicyclist they keep going or people without insurance do not want to admit fault. I have been to a hospital. I love bikes, but I am not sharing the road with motorized vehicles - only dedicated bike trails. If anyone disagrees peace, I am not trying to ruffle feathers.

"Assertion" seems to used in a negative sense here, confusing. Self-assertion is being taight people who get deceived, run over, taken advantage of. What is meant in this video, is it a euphemism for "aggressive"?

[@NegotiationMastery]

When we refer to a person as "Assertive," it actually means their personality type. Data shows that most people split into 3 types. Fight,Flight, or Make friends aka Assertive, Analysts or Accommodator. The Assertive type style of negotiation often is perceived by the other 2 types as aggressive, abrasive or harsh in their method of communication. Anyone can practice assertion but when the pressure is on what personality type do you naturally fall into?
