    37:27 I tried this tonight with my wife, and it worked. Thank you Chris Voss. After a terse exchange...
    I said, "It's Friday night, I come home late, and you probably think I am some big jerk just looking to cause problems," In my "Late night DJ voice"
    and she said...
    ..."That's right"
    then we hugged and problem was solved.

    I stumbled into "negotiation" / "empathy" as an elementary teacher. A kid walked in my class in the morning completely pissed off. I knew he was about to cause issues for the day. I asked him what was wrong. He didn't say anything. I said "I am curious because you seem upset." He said that morning his mom got him in trouble for something he didn't do.
    I replied, "I get it. That is the worst when my mom would do that to me, too. what happened"
    All of a sudden, he unclenched his fists, the anger on his face left, and he told me his story and had a good rest of the day.
    I am reading "Never Split the Difference" a second time and searching him on youtube for more insights he has.
    Good stuff in this video.

      But my question for people experiencing that response: You're enjoying the video, but do you know what you've learned?
      Reading the book won't have the same entertainment value as his speaking technique; you'll only get the lessons. Is he communicating any? He talks about teaching you something, but did he actually follow it with a lesson? What was the lesson?

    • @isaacwest
      @isaacwest 4 года назад +7

      You seek out information to find out where the other party is standing. Then you use that information to get them to see how you fit into that. And if you've done everything well enough you graciously allow them to have it your way.

    1. start with no
    2. is it bad time to talk?
    3. summerize: get the counterpart to say that's right
    4. 3 types: conservative, analytical, accomadator(talk more, think, mad)
    5. suicide hotline
    6. hostage communication:call back
    7. felt stressed: end of the world
    pattern
    8. rationalize:why you want what you want:
    tell me why you want it X vulnerabilities
    label techniques (close the information gap) V
    9. empathy the tool and assertive
    10. detecting deceptions
    unknown unknown: holding cards the other side unknown
    11. you are right-shut up you
    that's right
    12. angry at me:
    accusation audit指責
    seem like im being a jerk, seems like ive been fair, it seems like
    you sound angry
    13. the negotiator: movie
    lie X
    14. how to start
    - where you coming from:
    - listen to you first
    - information whats going on in your world
    15. sb talk to you, you got sth they want
    16.money, recognition, publicity
    fear of loss drive us mostly
    17. time is fair: cut the loss and move on

  • @akshatjainbafna
    @akshatjainbafna Год назад +4

    Lesson:
    1. Active Listening
    2. Try to understand and unleash the emotions of the negotiator because sometimes even he can't put words to those emotions.
    3. Tactical Empathise.
    4. Calibrated questions
    Fear of loss can get people to negotiate as it drives our decisions, hard bargaining gets you loss in long-term, the closer you are to someone the harder it will be to recognise what you are being accounted for the anger(i.e. the harder it will be to find that black swan)

    Great interview!
    I have read Chris's book a few times already n have been employing his techniques. The trick is to remember to use his teqnique once u have been triggered to respond, which is not always easy. For me when my gf is being difficult with me. I get triggered n upset n forget to use Chiss's tecniques, but then after the argument is done n im sitting there thinking; where did i go wrong? Thats when it hits me! I should have asked "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?" Or used some other technique condusive to my desired results.
    I finally rememered to use his teqnique in a time of contention. She was being difficult and unreasonable with her demands. So with a calm FM DJ voice I asked "How am I supposed to do that?". Then used an effective pause. Her face softened n it was as if she had jumped in my shoes n walked me through the problem. Upon verbalizing n realizing that it was an unreasonable request I was immediately released from the hook n told not to worry about it. Yay! I was so happy I was able to avoid an argument n even come out on top.
    Nowadays I like to ask no orientated questions to get what I want cause she is very sensitive to reverse pychology. If I say "we should do this", she automatically wants to do the opposite. But if i say "Is it a bad idea to do this" because there is a chance she may already want to, she will probably give me a reason why it may be bad so i understand her situation but will eventually succumb to the idea upon her "own" percieved terms. hehehe! ;)
    She is my rock which I Sharpen my skills on n she doesnt even know it :)
    Now I have started to employ these techniques with my boss, my teenage son n life in general n I am gettjng tremendous results. Its like I have a super power. I can talk people through a situation or problem guiding them to the solution or results that im looking for n it is becoming easier n easier everyday!
    Thank you Chris! Your a genius and a life saver. Once understood, your techniques are simple and effective to employ.
    The most powerful technique that Chris has reminded me of is that.
    PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE HEARD N UNDERSTOOD!
    Thank you!
    Sincerely,
    Wass.

    I think that the underlying point in all of this is that the people who can help you are often the very same people who can hurt you. From that perspective, empathy is fundamental to giving you the roadmap to understanding how you can reach a mutually helpful position in any negotiation or even average conversations. Mirroring is a brilliant way of overtly showing your counterpart empathy. I love it.

    I just started reading Katherine Manning's book The Empathetic Workplace. I thought it would be a feel good book about how I can put people at ease. But it's hard hitting, talking about trauma. I tell people she talks about trauma but all I have in my life is drama and melodrama. But what she teaches is helpful for everyone I talk to. And it helps me recognize and let people open up when they talk about trauma, or drama. Listening is one of the hardest and useful things we can learn. This backs up everything you say in Never Split The Difference. You started me on a long journey of daily reading books and watching videos like this one. It can be a LOT OF WORK! :) But the return on the investment on my time is amazing. Thanks so much!

    Pretty insightful. Much of this is practised by world-class litigators every day. There are few times in life where negotiating to convince a jury not to send your client to prison for life, without parole, is more intense. And we only get to talk at them. Not getting feedback is much more difficult but that's where reading body language is key.

  • @Haoland

    Provided me with useful advice when speaking and negotiating. I would say in context of hostage, if someone is talking to you, he wants something from you. In other situation is different. For example, sometimes, people like emotional connection. If he wants to say hi and cares about you, he may not want anything back from you. It's like having a dog, we care about our puppy and want our puppy to live happy. We don't expect our puppy to do anything for us except loving us back.

      When you purchased your last car, did the salesperson like you?
      Mine did, not love me, but made him laugh about stuff related to his job.
      He was more open to show me the best deal fast, I still got a little more, but there is a bottom line.
      We got to it and closed the deal. Because I was nice, he found ways to give 3 free oil changes and tire rotations, without me asking. I got more than I expected. We joked about how the car was on empty when test driven. My comment was a trailer of cars will full tanks is a fire hazard in an accident. He said he never thought about that, makes sense. Plus people could steal the gas in the cars if parked somewhere cause people have no issue stealing from a company as they know no one owns the cars. Well with the dialog, we told me all sorts of info. Like this was him coming in on a day off to try an make a year end sale. I knew I could ask for a little more at that point, and I got it! But overall, we both won, total time was 4 hours and all taken care of. Was the best car sales experience ever. No wonder the salesman had been successful for 13 years. Negotiation is life.

    "Everybody has patterns, and everybody is driven by emotions ... there is an emotional component to every decision we make, each and every decision. We make our minds up based on what we care about. Therefore what you care about is an emotion, how you feel about things. So let's start with the idea that we are emotional to begin with". From a heart-based Leadership perspective, it is important to observe that all thoughts are emotionalized thought every emotion has associated thoughts with it. This connects with both our values, vision, mission, purpose - ethical chamber of the heart - (which are emotionally charged) and our emotional management capabilities - emotional chamber of the heart - self-and social awareness, self and social emotional management.

    I am LITERALLY sitting here commenting about parenting and I have to erase and start over because you’re talking about parenting lol!
    Love this. Okay. So growing up both of my parents were very tough. But I always tell people my mother taught me everything I need to NOT do as a parent myself. She was very abusive and I won’t go into detail. My father, however, never laid a hand on me. He was tough, consistent, and I respected him very much. The difference was, my mother raised on the premise of fear. My father raised me to respect him. Both were effective until I was older, stronger, and no longer scared of my mother. I was 15.
    This seems to be the underlying method of your approach. You said your Harvard colleagues all brought the same ideas to the table, but different circumstances essentially. So, I share this hoping to offer another perspective for those viewing. Thank you very much for your time. 💋❤️🌹

    44:52 "Most people don't like to be laughed at ... Ridicule seems to be the one thing they don't like.." - Simple but powerful point for anyone running a business.
    I walked into a vacuum cleaner store in my city to ask if they have a clear plastic vacuum head (they also sell parts) - The store owner scoffed at said "No! I don't know why anyone would want something like that!"
    My first thought was "This guy is treating me like I'm a moron", and I said "Well I want one!" (emphasising the 'I') "Anyway, that's fine. Bye"
    The guy had no other customers there....it is a quiet little store...and if he had been a little more mannerly and ASKED me WHY I wanted it, he would have found out that I have a wet&dry shop vac I use for extracting water when cleaning car seats and wanted to be able to SEE how much water was being extracted and if it was dirty or clean....so there was a GOOD reason...yet he was more focus on ridiculing me - Amazing that a store owner can be so short-sighted as to ridicule customers. Why didn't he try sell me something else or offer to order me in something like that....E.g. SELL me something - Even if he had to help to give me right then, if he had been nicer, I might go back at some point for other stuff....but I won't be returning.
    Coincidentally another vacuum store in the city (the second of 2) did a similar thing a few years previous when I was looking for a specific part to fix a central vacuum system...He didn't last long ... he had a terrible reputation for being a jerk...his Yelp review are awful LOL

    I like the "black swan" references. I've also found it in Taleb's works ( can't remember if he's the author or not of this term ), but a black swan is basically an event, that happens rarely, it is unpredictable, and has an immense downside, just like an armed robbery with hostages. Happens probably once in 1 or 2 decades, but the maximum possible downside is a lot of people injured or/and murdered. I can see why for the negotiator this job is so difficult. His downside is zero (z-e-r-o). He's not the one standing on his knees with a gun on his head and a blindfold around his eyes, getting beaten and probably tortured. He's the one on the phone, away from all harm and danger. Yet, he needs to think the situation like he'd negotiate his own life. Else, he'll be sniffed as a fraud and the consequences are well, I've told you already.
