À propos de cet audio

 Welcome back to 1000 Things You Need to Know—the podcast where practical wisdom meets everyday life, one fascinating topic at a time. I’m thrilled you’re here, because today, we’re unlocking the world of basic negotiation tactics. Yes, negotiation—it’s not just for hostage negotiators or boardroom sharks. Whether you realize it or not, you’re probably negotiating something every single day, from haggling over an upgrade at the airport to convincing your roommate it’s their turn to do the dishes.

At its heart, negotiation is all about getting better deals and finding ways for everyone to walk away satisfied. According to experts at Esade Business School, some of the best results come when you stop treating negotiation like a zero-sum battle and start looking for collaborative solutions. That means instead of digging in and insisting you must have things your way, you ask more questions and look for shared interests. Say you’re buying a used car—the seller wants the highest price, you want a bargain. Instead of just demanding a discount, try asking about the car’s history and what the seller values most. Maybe you can strike a deal on price if you’re flexible about the pickup date or payment method.

Practical strategies come in all shapes and sizes, and some are delightfully simple. Procurement Tactics highlights the power of silence. Imagine you’ve just named your price in a negotiation, and then you stop talking. Most of us are so uncomfortable with silence, we rush to fill the void—often by making unnecessary concessions. But if you can embrace that awkward pause, you put pressure on the other side. Sometimes, they’ll make a better offer just to end the silence.

Another classic move is what-if questions. Let’s say you’re negotiating a raise at work. Instead of demanding a number, try something like, “What if I were to take on additional responsibilities? How would that impact my compensation?” This opens up the conversation and shows flexibility, without locking you into a position prematurely.

And don’t underestimate the value of empathy. The Black Swan Group points out that even in high-stress settings—think airports—if you show airline staff that you understand their situation, you’re far more likely to get your seat changed or your bag fee waived. People are wired to reciprocate goodwill.

The key, really, is to treat negotiations as problem-solving, not combat. Build rapport where you can, stay calm, and remember that making small, strategic concessions—especially in areas you care less about—can help you get bigger wins in areas that matter most. Always look for outcomes that benefit both sides, and never underestimate the power of listening more than you speak.

So next time you’re trying to land a deal—whether it’s at a market, at work, or even with a family member—remember: stay curious, be flexible, and don’t fear a little awkward silence.
