How to get 5X YES in Negotiation

[@thespiritualot8464]

Change yes to NO with following phrases at beginning of sentence: Are you against? Do you disagree? Have you given up on? Is it a bad idea? Is it a ridiculous idea? 3 kinds of yes: Commitment Confirmation Counterfeit Response of: You’re right=shut up That’s right=I feel understood/connection/step forward

[@Dominiqueuqinimod]

I work in mental health AND politics and I have been extremely successful in both. I have used what you call weaponized empathy for years. My colleagues think I’m doing some witchy woo woo magic or something, but it’s not. It’s so simple. I’d love it if more people knew about this amazing skillset. I genuinely feel like it makes the world a more positive place.

[@thebedroomintellectual2460]

Might think I am crazy but I found that to take it to even another next level try keeping the pronouns neutral to frame the conversation as situational. It seems like reducing "I", "You" "Me" etc. and framing the subject of sentences about the situation , increases that "collaborative vibe" that mirroring/labeling creates. It's great! Keep up the mastery!

[@JD-go2qj]

Nah. You go to a dealership with what you want on your head, lay it out and never settle. Last time I went in and said I want a new Honda Civic for 300/month. They said they can't do it and I walked out. They ran me down and said some bs and I said either I'm getting the Civic for 300/month or we're done. I didn't get the Civic, but setting an ultimatum is the counter play to negotiation. We're not negotiating, I've layed out my terms and if you don't agree to them the way I want it then we're done.

[@fifthlevelbard9541]

I had an epiphany while listening to this. "Does empathy work on a sociopath?" What's empathy? Understanding the feelings of another. The feelings of a sociopath is the _only_ thing a sociopath cares about. The real question is, does anything _else_ work on a sociopath?

[@fishhuntadventure]

Be a sixth level bard and realize many sociopaths are extremely manipulative; you missed the lesson in the literal statement.

[@fifthlevelbard9541]

@@fishhuntadventure I'm sorry, it seems like I was a little clumsy in what I've said here. It sounds like you've had dealings with sociopaths in the past and your insights and my insights are a little different. I definitely didn't mean to say sociopaths aren't manipulative, infact most of the ones I've dealt with are excellent at it. What I'm trying to say is, it's not that sociopaths don't feel emotion or don't have emotions, it's that the impact of those emotions do not register to their conscience. The only thing they care about are their goals, their stated intended purposes to themselves and their emotional motivators for those goals and purposes. Now that's a totally different thing. You can see therein, they have emotions and emotional drivers and those emotions are the only thing they care about. (It's not surprising then that most of the ones I've dealt with in my experience are flagrant narcissists that only care about themselves.) If empathy is just the recognizance of another individual's emotional state, and a sociopaths emotional triggers and drivers are the only emotions they care about, then with what we know from Mr. Voss and his take on negotiating, _what else could possibly work_ on a sociopath? I can tell you, looking back on it now, where my negotiations failed catastrophically with these people were when I tried to compare them with someone else. Like "How would you feel if you were them?" They don't care about "them" or anyone else that's not a part of their intended goal or target that doesn't serve a meaningful purpose to them. (That's also a trademark of psychopaths, these people tend to overlap.) I can also say that, to some degree, given the immediacy of the intended goal or target, we can also slip into to these sociopathic or psychopathic behaviors. _These traits can become learned skill sets_ and that should scare the hell out of everyone. A very mild case in point. I knew this one guy at a call center, we were friends possibly for 12 years at the time, pretty much could clock this guy for who he was, outstanding individual, selfless. Never occurred to me once he was a sociopath. The guy volunteered at a Christian mission for literally Christ's sake. He becomes a supervisor, was doing an outstanding job, like I thought he would. I overheard a conversation he had with one of his team about his idle time on the phone and the guy says "How would you feel if you had to listen to customers all day berate you and scream at you." The thing this guy said (Tony was his name) baffled me. He said "I would feel grateful." Now I know for a fact that Tony used to unload on the weekends with us about that very particular thing and he's said on several occasions that he wouldn't put his team through that if he was a sup. Problem was, once he got to that echelon, he had to survive. So he learned from other "mentors" how to be a monster, essentially. And that's the other dark thing, the only reason these things are teachable are because they're in you. A lot of restless nights with that one.

Well, Mr. Voss's views are overall enlightening. The major message: empathize with your target in order to get what you want, whether it's a sale, a date, or a hostage. I get it and I understand its effectiveness. Why do people respond to this technique? Because humans have an innate need to be heard, acknowledged, and respected. In this regard, I'm mostly on board. Is this something new in man's inventory of knowledge? Of course not. It's practically as old as the primordial soup. However, if you have an agenda that does not include rescuing a hostage or anything of equally redeeming social value, then one needs to weigh the situational morality of this technique before applying it. The problem? We Americans are obsessed with winning at all costs and I'm afraid that Mr. Voss may have just opened up a Pandora's box for the less noble of our species to exploit. Just telling it like it is, folks.

@@patmarco2251 "Way more ethical?" Really? Let's see. The Sackler family (Purdue Pharma) creating our opioid epidemic. Pharmaceutical companies charging Americans 10X more for a drug - insulin - that was given free to American companies by its Canadian creators many decades ago and tweaked (without any discernible benefit whatsoever) every so often to keep it from going generic. These companies are making billions while some of our citizens are dying because they're rationing their insulin. Google paying no taxes in the interest of gaining market share. Other big tech companies locating overseas to avoid paying their fair share of taxes to help keep American running. Strangely enough, if these were Chinese companies using these tactics, their executives would most probably be imprisoned without trial or executed by the state - which IMO is well-deserved. So, yes, Americans like to win at all costs and these companies - and many, many others in our country - prove my case. You would think, Pat, that Americans would riot just outside these executives' homes. But, no, we just accept their behavior with resignation. There was a time when Americans would raise hell and riot - or at least demonstrate or hold these people as well as our elected representatives accountable, but we've become a nation of timid mice focused on our own narrow lives.
