Better Negotiating 1 – Basics of Cooperative Negotiation

Objective arguments and pure persuasive power are often not enough when negotiation partners pursue different goals and interests. A negotiation can be considered successful when the other party is willing to work with you again in the future.

The Harvard Concept is a globally recognized negotiation strategy that helps you systematically develop your negotiation skills and remain capable of acting even in challenging situations.

Based on extensive analysis of negotiations – ranging from everyday problems to highly complex, high-level negotiations – five core principles have been identified that lead to sustainable negotiation success and long-term customer relationships.
The 5 principles of successful negotiation:

  • Principle 1: Treat people and problems separately
  • Principle 2: Concentrate on interests, not positions
  • Principle 3: Develop many options first, evaluate, and decide later
  • Principle 4: Insist on the application of neutral evaluation criteria
  • Principle 5: Decide by comparison with your plan B
