Closing Methods: Incremental

The negotiator proposes an agreement on a particular issue and then proceeds to settle other issues until accord is reached on all pending matters. This method is used when the negotiation process follows an orderly sequence of settling one issue after another

Closing Methods: Alternative

Also known as the "either-or" technique, in this approach, one party makes a final offer consisting of a choice for the other side

Closing Methods: Splitting the Difference

Both parties are close to agreement and the remaining difference is minimal. At this point, it may be preferable to split the difference rather than continue endless discussion on minor issues

Buyer rejection/ demands and what to do: Rejection

Buyer might reject first offer because... -He/she wants to get the upper hand in the negotiations -He/she wants to test the seriousness of the offer -He/she wants to find out how low you are willing to go -He/she is seeking a lower price because the brand is new to the market -He/she is not interested because the product does not meet his/her needs.

Starting high or low in negotiations

It is more effective to start negotiations with a higher price because the point of negotiating is to decrease the price. Starting negotiations with an already discounted price is a big mistake

Closing Methods: Linkage

Linking a requested concession to another concession in return. Linkage is usually most effective when both sides have already agreed on the outstanding issues and need to settle remaining ones prior to reaching concessions

Closing Methods: Concession

This method is characterized by the negotiator keeping a few concessions in reserve until the end of the talks encourage the other party to come to an agreement. It is particularly effective in situations in which concessions are expected as a sign of goodwill before final agreement is given.

Closing Methods: Summarizing

This method requires one negotiator to summarize all of the issues being discussed, to emphasize the concessions made, and to highlight the benefits the other party gains by agreeing to the proposal. As the discussion near the deadline and consensus is reached on all outstanding issues, one party summarizes the points and asks the other party to approve them

Closing Methods: Prompting

Used to obtain immediate agreement by making a final offer with special benefits if the offer is accepted immediately. The purpose of prompting is to overcome

Closing Methods: Assumption

With this method, the negotiator assumes the other side is ready to agree and to proceed with detailed discussions of delivery dates, payment schedules, and so on. Sellers use this method frequently to rush buyers into agreement. It is a useful approach when the initiating party has more than one option to offer the other side
