Frequently Asked Questions About Negotiation

This is a critical question. You need to be comfortable with the person you hire and be sure he will represent your requirements, interests, priorities and ranges of acceptability. Creativity and initiative are important but you need to be kept informed. You should be looking for a person who understands that the best negotiation is one where each side benefits and can comfortably manage and succeed under the negotiated terms.

Yes, BUT what are you willing to give up for that last penny? MPNE will work with you to determine your negotiation goals, what you are willing to risk for those goals, and work to achieve them either as your representative at the table or as your support as you lead the negotiations.

“Expanding the pie” refers to thinking about the contract or opportunity so that each side benefits rather than one wins and the other loses. Think of it as working together to get a bigger pie so that each side gains more.

Briefly, think of distributional negotiation as when you and the other party have a fixed amount of resources, say money, people, land, time, etc. The more one party gets, the less there is for the other party. Integrative negotiation, on the other hand, occurs when two parties discuss the problem and look for creative ways for each to benefit. For example, two parties are both interested in renting a food truck for catering. They could bid against each other offering the owner higher rental fees than the other OR they could explore when they each need the truck and discover one wants it weeknights and the other wants it Saturday afternoon to Sunday at 5 pm. They each can rent the truck but at different times and they avoid the bidding war! By understanding each other’s interest (e.g., when they need the truck) they can look for creative ways to solve the problem.
