Preparation and Planning
• 90% of all negotiation takes place prior to actual negotiation
• The best defense is a good offense!
• Luck is the residue of hard work and good planning
![Page 8: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Planning for the Negotiations—The Scope
Let the complexity, value, risk,
and importance of the provider’s
service to be negotiated determine
the scope of your negotiation.
![Page 9: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Collaborative Negotiation Planning Focu$
• Focus on Pareto’s Law—20% of your
outsourcing providers constitute 80% of your
total outsourced dollar spend.
• Focus on alliances, partners, and preferred
providers.
• More extensive negotiations are appropriate for
higher dollar value procurements, because the
dollar savings are potentially larger.

Negotiation Targets for Secondary Objectives–Format of Conditionality
• What You Want
• If you give me
• What You Offer in Return
• Then I will give you
Example: “ If you make it a 97 % service level, then we will incentivize you for each % above.”Example: “ If you make it a 97 % service level, then we will incentivize you for each % above.”

Concessions—Tradable Objective
People who are uneasy
will grant concessions to
extricate themselves from
an uncomfortable
situation.
People who are uneasy
will grant concessions to
extricate themselves from
an uncomfortable
situation.
Tradables are very useful objectives that allow the negotiator to makeor gain concessions without harm to the plan. Tradables are valuable items to be used to gain your desired Primary or Secondary objectives.

Concessions—Trading Off
By asking for something in return,
you’ve elevated the value of the
concession. When you’re negotiating,
why give anything away? When you
elevate the value of the concession,
you set it up for a trade off later.
![Page 21: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Essence of Negotiation
![Page 22: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Remember to Remember
![Page 23: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. Learn to be comfortable not knowing
2. Learn to ask questions
3. Operate with a high degree of ethics
4. Seek an even exchange
Four Rules to Guarantee Success
![Page 24: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Negotiations and Provider Relationships
• The traditional price-based relationship with providers is changing to long-term relationships based on total cost, trust, flexibility, innovation and quality.
• Advantages:Stronger partnering-collaborationBetter provider performanceImproved communicationIncreased industry and functional knowledgeIncreased trust and reliabilityReduced adversarial relationships
![Page 25: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Understanding Collaborative Purchasing Negotiations
• There is a common notion—even among some experts—that someone always gets skinned in a negotiation.
• In purchasing negotiations this should never be the case---collaborate don’t compromise.
![Page 26: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Understanding Collaborative Purchasing Negotiations
• Power of Persuasiveness. In order to bring a seller to agreement with your view, you need to:– Make sure he/she understands what you are
saying. – Present compelling facts and information.– Meet his/her needs.
![Page 27: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Understanding Collaborative Purchasing Negotiations
• Power of Solidarity. A united front to counter “Divide and Conquer” tactics: – Particularly needed when negotiating in teams. – Teams that are not united can weaken our
negotiating position because they make foolish remarks.
– Avoid careless remarks that may weaken your negotiating position.
![Page 28: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Understanding Collaborative Purchasing Negotiations
• Power of Competition. Examples of “Foolish Remarks” that let a Seller know they have little or no competition:– “Your level of service is the only one that will do.”– “We really like yours best.”– “As far as we can determine, you’ve got the only type of 24/7
service available.”– “Your competition can’t handle it right now.”– “We’ve had nothing but trouble with your competition.”– “I understand we always get these from you.”– “You’re the only one providing this type service.”

Concluding Negotiations
• Have a Memorandum of Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding
• Be careful not to make it a contract
• Insert a special protection clause
![Page 30: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Partnering/Alliance Negotiations--Collaboration
• Add value to the other
• Be supportive
• Avoid surprises
• Be open & above board
• Frame of reference
• Anticipate opportunity
• Anticipate problems
• Do your homework
• Treat each other as people
![Page 31: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Reading People—Part I
• It can be done based on a sound principle of nature.
• By understanding how the brain and body react in
certain situations, you can train yourself to decode the nonverbal messages people
unwittingly transmit.

Reading People—Part IIFive Ways to Read People
1. MISMATCHED GESTURES
2. TONE SHIFTS
3. AVOIDANCE or OVERFRIENDLINESS
4. FALSE SMILES
5. EYE DARTS

Definition of Three Negotiation Terms for Collaborative Negotiations
An Impasse is when you disagree on a major issue and it
threatens the negotiation.
A Stalemate is when you and the supplier or contractor are still
talking but you seem unable to make any progress toward a solution.
A Deadlock is when the lack of progress has frustrated both sides
so much that neither you nor the supplier or contractor see any point
in talking to each other.
![Page 40: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Breaking Deadlocks—Five Ploys
1. Focus on the problem.
2. Turn a problem or contentious issue into an answer.
3. Reduce the scope of the issue
4. Take a break, recess, or caucus.
5. State the other side’s case.
![Page 41: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

The Essential Principle of Negotiations—LINKAGE
LINKAGE
Never Give Up Something without Getting Something in Return
Avoids a Bad Deal

Asking Effective Questions
“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers, you can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”—Naquib Manfouz
“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers, you can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”—Naquib Manfouz

Five Functions of Questions
1. Cause Attention.
2. Get Information.
3. Give Information.
4. Start Thinking.
5. Bring to a Conclusion.
![Page 45: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Use Questions Collaboratively in a Socratic Manner
• Devise a question or series of questions whose answers will lead to the answer that you need.
• Example: “How do you think your senior management will respond to our facility layout change?” instead of, ‘Don’t you think you should of checked with your senior management before we discussed this issue?”
![Page 46: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Use Questions Collaboratively in a Socratic Manner (Con’t)
• Do not ask questions in a condescending manner, a manner that implies, “See if you can guess the answer.”
• Instead, try “what if “ phrasing: “What if you were to change the mode of transport?”
![Page 47: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Why Should I Care About How I Ask Questions?
• The more information you have, the better decisions you’ll be able to make.
• How you ask a question can have just as much impact as the words you’re saying.
• You want it to be as easy as possible for people to share information with you.
![Page 48: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
How Do I Ask Effective Questions?
Effective questions are open ended:
• Ask for stories, background, and interests
• Ask “Why” questions
• Ask for speculation
![Page 49: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Negotiation Tips
![Page 50: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Tips for Better Negotiating
• Write down in advance your “walk-away” position.
• Understand your supplier counterpart’s emotional issues.
• Understand your supplier counterpart’s real objectives.
• Never bluff! Be prepared to back whatever you say.
![Page 51: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Tips for Better Negotiating
• Be patient. Learn how to handle silence during a negotiation.
• Never permit debate and disagreement to become personal—stick to the issues.
• Try to find items to trade (concessions) that are more important to the other side than to you.
![Page 52: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Tips for Better Negotiating
• Do not be constrained by the specific scope of what is being negotiated; collaborate and mutually invent options.
• Negotiate only with supplier counterparts who have the authority to close or consummate the agreement.
• Never give up! Learn to distinguish among an impasse, a deadlock, or a stalemate.
![Page 53: The Artful Application of Collaborative Negotiations with Providers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c1b7394a795900618b4587/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
