•  They have no desire to be involved in the nego2a2on (could be for mul2tude of reasons) and will try to sidestep the situa2on, postpone dealing with it, or propose that the issue be ignored. •  Typically ambivalent to their own wants and desires as well as the wants and desires of others. COLLABORATING
•  They are both asser2ve and coopera2ve. •  They seek a solu2on that sa2sfies all concerns while taking a leadership role in the solu2on. •  Collabora2ng involves crea2ve solu2ons that embody the wants and needs of all involved. COMPROMISING
•  Those who compromise try to find a quick solu2on that benefits everyone involved. •  Compromising means both sides will give up part of their wants and desires in order to find common ground. HOW TO NEGOTIATE WITH
COMPETITIVE STYLE
• ASK, LISTEN & SHUT UP. Competitors love to talk and try to persuade. Let them. The more they try to persuade you, the more negotiation power you’re getting. STICK TO YOUR PRINCIPLES. Gain their respect. Compe2tors Respect strength. Not necessarily do it in an adversarial way, although this might be needed at 2mes. FRANKLY EMPHASIZE YOUR LEVERAGE. Competitors will not be offended by direct language about your leverage. Emphasize it. Lower your voice, look them in the eye, and just lay out the facts. NEGOTIATING WITH ACCOMMODATOR STYLE •  Get commitments in writing (such as an email) – accommodators easily not comply with a Descrip7on m
