They’re not difficult They are uninformed
![Page 18: Negotiation In A Down Economy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051311/54463630afaf9f65178b45ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

They don’t foresee the bright economic future you doThey are too distracted by emotional considerations to make rational choices
You haven’t given them a way to accept your view without losing face
