Fear of Negotiating
• Key skill for contract managers
• One of the major impediments to effective negotiation is fear

Primary Fears in Business
• Fear of looking foolish• Fear of the unknown• Fear from past bad experience
![Page 7: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Fear of Looking Foolish
• We all want to be a “good person”– Leaders– Parents– Competent business people
![Page 8: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What is the “Perfect Deal”?
• Depends on the circumstance• Depends on your perspective• Depends on your goals• Can a good deal go bad?
![Page 9: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Reject my Deal – Reject Me
• We personalize our effort• You are “tainted” by bad results
– Even if you did not cause them– Even if you could not have avoided them– You feel you can’t save face– Your reputation as a negotiator is bad
![Page 10: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

YOU ARE A FAILURE!!!!
![Page 11: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

REALLY????
![Page 12: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
What is Success?• We all want to bat 1.000• In business, often anything over 50% is
pretty good• Success is amorphous• You can’t know what “might have been”• Position yourself to:
– Capitalize on positive risk– Minimize negative risk
![Page 13: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Mistakes
• Part of being human• If not making any – probably not doing
anything• Accept your mistakes; you can’t change
history• Learn from them• You don’t fail until you stop trying
![Page 14: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Fear of the Unknown
• You can’t know everything• There is more you don’t know than you
do know• Seek training in negotiation skills• Have substantive knowledge of the
situation
![Page 15: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Understand the Process
• Does the first person who speaks always lose?
• Is good cop/bad cop a legitimate technique?
• When is it appropriate to slam your fist on the desk and walk out?
![Page 16: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Understand the Subject Matter• Do you know what you are buying?• Have you gone out and “kicked the
tires”?• Do you know your company’s strategic
plan?• Do you know whether cost, schedule, or
technical excellence is the key driver for your company?
![Page 17: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Understand the Relationship
• What do you know about the other party?
• Would you want to have a beer with them?
• What motivates them?• Why are they doing business with you?
![Page 18: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Fear of Change
• One of the greatest learned fears• Every day is a new adventure• The only constant in life is change
• Deal with it!
![Page 19: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What Did You Know And When Did You Know It?
• Known knowns• Known unknowns• Unknown unknowns
![Page 20: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Fear from Experience
• Experience is an excellent teacher• “Tried it once and failed, so I’ll never
do THAT again!”• Experience allows us to rationalize• Can you explain WHY it was a bad
experience and learn from it?
![Page 21: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

• Prepare• Study and practice• Understand power• Understand fear
![Page 22: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Prepare

23
Study and Practice• Ever fly with a pilot who had NOT been
through the simulator?• All skill development takes study and
practice• What was the last book on negotiation that
you read?• Do you do mock negotiations, murder
boards, or lessons learned for your negotiations?
![Page 24: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Understand Power
• Power is like money – neither good or bad
• Power exists whether you recognize it or use it
• Often it is more perception than reality• Preparation exhibits power
![Page 25: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Understand Fear
• Negotiations are not usually fight or flight situations
• Most fear is self generated– Called WORRY– Treat fear signals as opportunities for
positive change• Developing relationships reduces fear
![Page 26: 104-2.ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051623/563db974550346aa9a9d7696/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

What Does Zig Say?

• Fear motivates• Harmful fears versus helpful fears –
know the difference• Fear can be your friend
