Episode 12: Being the Underdog in a Negotiation
Manage episode 364679272 series 3455158
What exactly does it mean to negotiate as an underdog - i.e from a defended position? It means trying to mitigate your position of disadvantage – regardless of what caused it. It may be lack of leverage, lack of resources, it may be a poorly argued position that’s backfired and landed you on the back foot.
I’m talking about those times when you feel cornered – you may in fact be cornered - either in your logic or because options are limited or don’t exist, or it may appear that the odds are stacked against you, or you may be negotiating up against a giant (the Goliath to your David) where there’s no path to a successful outcome - or at least one that you can see. Ever been in that situation? I can think of a few times when I have!
In today's episode I'm covering three micro lessons to help you think differently about what disadvantage means and steps you can take to find opportunities even when you're the underdog. Let's jump in!
