Negotiation: Style

in #business7 years ago

Now that I have given a quick explanation of the 3 forms of negotiation, it is time to use Ethos, Pathos and Logos to formulate the style of argument you will use...

What do I mean by style?

People do not like to admit it but looks matter. People are more likely to end a negotiation positively if they like the way you present yourself. But I do not mean looks...

When referencing style in negotiation, it more specifically refers to the manner in which you conduct yourself. Think of it as writing an essay. The way you speak and what you say is important when delivering an argument as people are less willing to listen if you are incoherent or lack confidence. But how should you act?

Negotiation

Each and every negotiation that you will engage in will be different. Sometimes you will walk into tense situations and professionalism and solemnity will be required from your style.

Being a good negotiator means that you are very adept at reading the mood of the room or person you are negotiating with. Use varying body language and pitch to keep the attention of the people and then present your case as clearly as possible. Articulation is important...

A trick that I find works quite often: Negotiation or arguments often tend to get very emphatic, especially when both parties are sure of their point of view... Change the pace. Instead of getting louder and more erratic in body language, calm down. Fold your hands and speak your next point softly...

Suddenly changing the pace of a discussion is a good way of drawing attention to a specific point. Use this to regain focus in the discussion. Seldom will your opponent stay erratic as he will realise that something is different. Perhaps you really do know what you are talking about?

"People are more likely to end a negotiation positively if they like the way you present yourself." Yes, I fully agree. First and foremost, present yourself as a clean, well groomed person. Remember, the first seven seconds are the most important. Whatever you say and present afterwards, will be influenced by your first impression of whoever is interviewing you. In other words: Start with the way you look to effect what you say in your interview.

That is true. At the same time, your rhetoric is as important. Philosophers are usually very unkempt...

In like this idea, I'll try it the next time.

One thing that I do, that is similar to allowing durable the pace especially a when it is getting heated is to say "yes, you may have a point, can you help meet understand and explain what you mean" I think that this definitely helps.

I can see how that would help. It immediately gives you the impression of empathy..,

thank you :)
good idea i'll not forget it

One tactic to underline pace is word choice.

I've found vocab has a massive effect on the tone and feel of the conversation. "I prefer" vs "I hate", or "impatient" vs "anticipating" etc.

It is easy to use our default words. But "delicious" and f-bombs (often) fall short of what we mean to say.

Just found your blog (new to Steemit) and looking forward to engaging!

I agree completely. English is an especially rich language...
