Do Emotions Have A Role In Negotiations?

To The Point

These are comments taken from police video cameras.

I would have to say admit these are are contrary to my belief that everything in life is negotiable; these definitely are non-negotiable.

“If you take your hands off the car, I’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document.”

“If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.”

“Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that’s the speed of the bullet that’ll be chasing you.”

Fixed Price – I Don’t Think So

At Paris’ famous Marche aux Puces, it’s known as “marchandage.” In Mexico’s open-air weekend markets, it’s called “regatear.” Here in the U.S., we know it as “haggling.” And while it’s the norm when buying a car or a home, most American prices on most items are non-negotiable.

Think again. In this tough economy, there has never been a better time to haggle in any retail setting.

“You can negotiate anything, anywhere these days,” says Allan Stark, president of Negotiate4U, a Web-based company that negotiates discounts on everything from cars to cellphones. “You can haggle for lower prices from flea markets all the way up to Bergdorf Goodman.”

Setting the Stage for Negotiations

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.”

Creativity Breeds Success

The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute.. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
“Here’s a copy of the service,” he said impatiently. “But, you’ll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.”
During the service, the minister paused and said, “Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.”
At that moment, the substitute organist played “The Star Spangled Banner.”
And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

Psychology

I am in the process of writing a new book on reverse psychology.
