Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator, offers several key pieces of advice for effective negotiation:
Empathy: Understand and acknowledge the emotions and perspectives of the other party.
Active Listening: Pay close attention to what the other party is saying to gather valuable information.
Mirroring: Repeat the last few words the other person has said to build rapport and encourage them to elaborate.
Labelling Emotion: Identify and vocalize the emotions of the other party to make them feel heard and understood.
Calibrated Questions: Ask open-ended questions that begin with "how" or "what" to encourage deeper conversation and insight.
Beware of "Yes": Be cautious of simply getting a "yes" response, as it may not always mean true agreement or commitment.
Use Silence: After making a point or asking a question, use silence to prompt the other party to respond more fully.
I personally like his approach of using the Late-Night FM DJ Voice: employing a calm, soothing tone to create a sense of calm and control during negotiations.
"That's Right!": Aim to get the other party to say "That's right!" which indicates they feel understood and validated.
