FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS When responding to another parties asks in a negotiation, co-create the solution with them rather than going away and making a new offer to ensure they feel like it was a collaborative exercise When prospects do things you like, label their actions positively to give them affirmations and encourage further positive actions When aligning on a solution that works don't agree too quickly because the prospect will think they could've gotten a better deal, use a label like "Seems like that would be a good deal for you..."

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Condition your prospect for future interactions by giving them time back in their calendar & leaving them on a positive note Do not talk to people when they are distracted, Labelling someone's emotion builds trust and gets them to tell you more information for example "It seems like the value isn't there for you" If someone is asking for an unreasonable discount get them to think about the potential implication of fit by saying "How are we supposed to deliver {value} while lowering our price?"
