Pie Slicing Strategies 1 - 3
- assess your batna and improve it
- Determine your RP but dont reveal it unless
* getting really close to the end
* reveal your batna - research the other parties batna and estimate their RP
Pie Slicing Strategies 4
set high, optimistic aspirations. be aware of goal setting paradox -
set high goals, rarely hit them
set low goals, always hit them
Pice Slicing Strategies 5
make the first offer
Research: the first offer has a .85 correlation to final
Pitfall: do not make a range (will choose lower end of the range)
Pitfall: premature concessions - meaning do not give in too easily.
Pie Slicing Strategies 6
Immediately re-anchor if the other party opens first (with a bad anchor)
tactic: if they have an extreme first offer, be extreme back
tactic: prepare your opening offer before you even hear theirs.
