Now, when we look at distributive
now when we look at distributive bargaining what do we see in distributed
bargaining, what do we see? In
bargaining we see that you have basically like a scale here let me show
distributive bargaining, we see that you
you here
have, basically, like a scale here. (Let me
not enough they're here maybe about here we go over to my monitor here
show you here. Nope, not there. Here
yeah that's nice lips turned off my screen there we go
may be, about here. Here we go. Let me go on
alright so we have a scale so on this scale i put a little picture of a pizza
my monitor here. That's nice. Oops, turned off
my pizza because remember friend Jane were arguing about the pizza right now
my screen. okay there we go.) All right, so we
why is Pete's a good example of this well on the scale you see if one side
have a scale. So on this scale, I put a
goes up the other side goes down if one side goes down the other side goes up
little picture of a pizza. Now, why pizza?
that's distributed bargaining anytime this side goes up the other side goes
Because remember Fred and Jane were
down one side wins the other side loses when one side loses the other side wins
arguing about the pizza, right? Now why is
so you win I lose I win you lose
pizza good example of this? Well, on the
so that's what distributive bargaining is both sides are in direct conflict and
scale, you see, if one side goes up the
there's really not a lot you can do to change that the resources are fixed
other side goes down. If one side goes
what does it mean to be fixed just like in this picture here it's a pizza
down, the other side goes up. That's
it's around pizza there's no more pizza that's it we cannot go buy more
distributive bargaining. Anytime, this
there's no more we gotta split up this pizza if you get one piece I get one
side goes up, the other side goes down.
piece less if I get one piece you get one piece less so in the case of Jane
What one side wins, the other side loses.
and Fred that was extremely have one little timepiece but same thing if they
What one side loses, the other side wins.
cut it in half one person gets half the other person gets gets half would that
So you win, I lose. I win, you lose. So
be okay well no because friend Jane want to be fooled they want to eat enough so
that's what distributive bargaining is.
that they're not hungry and half is not enough so they both want to eat the
Both sides are in direct conflict, and
whole piece
there's really not a lot you can do to
in any case Fred once more and Jane once more they both want more
change that. The resources are fixed. What
so someone is going to have to win and somebody's gonna have to lose and you
does it mean to be fixed? Just like in
say well professor warden what if they just cut the piece in half and their
this picture, here. It's a pizza. It's a
brother little bit happy is not good
round pizza. There's no more pizza. That's
I mean yeah they still might be hungry but at least Fred gets a little bit and
it. We cannot go buy more. There's no more.
Jane gets a little bit and the answer to that is in that case yes you're right
We gotta split up this pizza. If you get
Fred will get a little bit and Jane will get a little bit and Fred will be a
one piece, I get one piece less. If I get
little bit less hungry and Jane will be a little bit less hungry but in this way
one piece, you get one piece less. So in
they're both still hungry so they both lose
the case of Jane and Fred, that was
so you thinking win-win
extreme. They had only one little tiny piece,
it's not so easy just cutting something in half does not mean win-win
but same thing. If I cut it in half, one
that just means i have get half of what i want which is the same as losing right
person gets half, the other person gets
it's the same as losing and distributive bargaining both sides do not want to
half. Would that be okay? Well, no.
lose and later when we study win-win both sides don't want to lose either
Because Fred and Jane want to be full. They
it's not just cutting something in half that is not the way it works so in this
want to eat enough, so that they are not
case I use the scale to show one side goes up one side goes down there is no
hungry.
way to stop it with the pizza if you get something I get something less and then
And half is not enough, so they both want
Fred in Jane's case a very small amount so that they're both going to end up
to eat the whole piece. In any case, Fred
being hungry no matter what we do
wants more, and Jane once more. They both
ok so I think I kind of made the point they're clear
want more, so someone is going to have to
for the buyer distributive negotiation begins with what the best deal is the
win, and somebody's going to have to lose.
target . now let's begin looking at this very very carefully step by step because
And you say, "Well, Professor Warden, what
I want you to remember this because it's really key idea right
if they just cut the pizza in half and
very very important so if you're the buyer a distributive negotiation begins
their both are a little bit happy, isn't
with the best deal which means getting the lowest price right i want to buy at
that good? I mean, yeah, they still might
the lowest price
be hungry but at least Fred gets a
ok so i want to buy this cup and I want to get the lowest price this cup cost
little bit, and Jane gets a little bit."
$100 then i would like to get less than 100 and lower is better right if I'm the
And the answer to that is, in that case,
buyer so the target . is the best deal and the worst deal is still acceptable
yes, you're right. Fred will get a little
that's called the resistance . so let's say this cup here this cup maybe the
bit, and Jane will get a little bit, and
retail price the sticker price is 100 ok whatever it doesn't really matter to me
Fred will be a little bit less hungry,
i have my price so for me what is my target price well if i could pay 50 that
and Jane will be a little bit less
is what i would like to pay of course i'd like to pay zero right but remember
hungry. But in this way, they're both
what we talked about in the previous units that I need to have one is my
still hungry, so they both lose. So
target so in this case let's say my target is 50
thinking win-win, it's not so easy. Just
ok now then I'm the buyer so i would like to go lower so 50 is my target
cutting something in half does not mean
price that's my target . now how much does the price go up and I'm not gonna
win-win. That just means I get half
buy fifties what I will when i'm targeting target . of course you could
of what I want, which is the same as
be lower than 50 i'm happy to that's fine right but 50 is my target now how
losing, right? It's the same as losing, and
much higher does the price go and I'm just not going to buy it if it goes
in distributive bargaining both sides do
higher in that case let's say that my upper price my resistance . i will not I
not want to lose. And later, when we study
will not go past
win-win, both sides don't want to lose
resistance . let's say that my resistance point is let's say a tok that
either. It's not just cutting something
the sticker price maybe 100 we don't care that's the sticker price is not
in half. That is not the way it works. So
important the retail price is not important to us if that retail prices
in this case, I use the scale to show one
100 that is over my resistance . of 80 so if somebody tells me you must pay the
side goes up, one side goes down. There's
price that's on there the sticker price the retail price the list price i'm
just no way to stop it. Or the pizza, if
going to say no I don't want to spend that because that is over my resistance
you get something, I get something less,
so we have two things here target and resistance I want you to remember so the
and in Fred an Jane's case, a very small
resistance . for the buyer is the highest price i will pay higher than
amount. So they're both going to end
that i will not buy right higher than that i will not buy the target . is the
up being hungry no matter what we do.
desired price for me 50 anything beyond the resistance . cannot be accepted 80
Okay. So I think I kind of made the point
if it's 81 dollars i will not accept if it's 82 dollars i will not accept its
there clear. For the buyer, a distributive
ninety dollars no it's $100 know if it's $79 then yes I can accept that that
negotiation begins with what the best
doesn't mean i will accept it but I can accept that if it's eighty dollars can I
deal is-- the target point. Now, let's begin
accept that
looking at this very, very carefully, step
yes that's my that is my actual resistance . right but 81 know both the
by step, because I want you to remember
target . and the resistance . our secret information that you should not tell the
this, because it's a really key idea, right?
seller here we get into the next important . in negotiation and that is
very, very important. So if you're the
this idea of secret information so this is the cup i want to buy this cup I want
buyer, a distributive negotiation begins
to buy it for 50 that's my target my target . the most i will pay is 80 so
with the best deal, which means getting
5280 in here right
the lowest price, right? I want to buy at
if you are going to sell to me and I told you sir i would like to buy that
the lowest price. OK. So I want to buy
cup and i would like to buy that cup somewhere from 50 to 80 and what would
this cup,
you say to me you would say oh no problem 80 and then what would I say
and I want to get the lowest price. This
well 8000k 80 because eighty is still within my resistance right resistance .
cup costs one hundred dollars, and I
target . resistance it's inside now that was pretty stupid of me to tell you that
would like to get less than 100, and
right i should just tell you that 100 is way too much i'm not gonna spend that
lower is better, right? if I am the buyer.
much and then you say well how much do you want and then maybe I begin by
So the target point is the best deal, and
saying how much do I want maybe I begin by saying 40 and then we can work up
the worst deal is still acceptable.
like that right
That's called the resistance point. So
so we begin with two ideas here both of them are secret resistance . and target
let's say this cup here, this cup, maybe
. please remember those are so awesomely up here right resistance . and target .
the retail price, the sticker price is
okay secret information
100, okay, whatever. It doesn't really
you never want to tell the other side in this case the seller never want to tell
matter to me. I have my price. So for me,
the seller
what is my target price? Well, if i could
ok now then let's change perspective a little bit now the seller's a little bit
pay 50, that is what i would like to pay.
different right
Of course, I'd like to pay zero, right? but
if the seller is selling this cup then the seller must begin with a price right
remember what we talked about in the
because he's selling at me
previous units? that i need to have what
you cannot go and ask i would like to buy that cup how much is it and the
is my target. So in this case, let's say
seller says hmm i don't know how much money do you have right that's that
my target is 50. OK. Now, then I'm the
doesn't work right
buyer, so I would like to go lower, so 50
no I don't think that works although there are some companies that do that
is my target price. That's my target
kind of thing so if if you come to me you say mr. warden I'd like to buy that
point. Now, how much does the price go up
cup and I say the price of this cup let me tell you how much money is in your
and I'm not going to buy? 50 is what I
pocket right now I don't think that would be a good way to begin
what I'm targeting, target point. Ofcourse,
what do we normally begin with normally you go to the cellar and there's a price
if it's lower than 50, I'm
there a sticker price for a list price where we tail price and that price is
happy. That's fine, right? But 50 is my
listed there where you can ask me and I tell you one hundred this cup is 100 so
target. Now, how much higher does the
the seller must always begin the seller must always begin with some public
price go and I'm just not going to buy
information and that public information is going to be the price so we call this
it if it goes higher? In that case, let's
the sellers asking price
say that my upper price, my resistance
the sellers asking price
point, I will not go past the
you can now after the sellers asking price
resistance point. Let's say that my
what comes next let's take a look at the start of negotiation one value is public
resistance point is... let's say 80, OK.
everyone can see it while two values our secret
The sticker price maybe 100. We
so the asking price
don't care. That sticker price is
the selling price the retail price
not important, the retail price is not
the list price this in fact is public to other values are secret but we'll talk
important to us. If that retail price is
about that in a second so the first step is for the buyer to decide how much to
100, that is over my resistance point of
offer for the initial starting offer right so if i go to buy a cup and the
80. So if somebody tells me you must pay
list price is 100 I'm must decide what do I say to begin with do I say zero you
the price that's on there, the sticker
should give me that cup for free
price, the retail price, the list price
please well I can't start with i guess i could start with 0 but no one's gonna
I'm going to say no. I don't want to
take me serious right so what do I begin with that's going to be the opening or
spend that because that is over my
first offer the first offer needs to be lower than the target remember my target
resistance. So we have two things here:
right member my target my target was 50 since the seller will try to raise the
target and resistance. I want you to
price the seller will always try to make the price go up so the buyer should
remember.
begin under the target of my target is 50 i would like to get 50 how do i get
So the resistance point for the buyer is
50 i must begin below 50 i'll give you 40 so here we have this little chart I
the highest price i will pay. Higher than
like this a lot
that, I will not buy, right? Higher than
we can see on this graph here on this line we have three things so far on the
that, i will not buy. The target point is
right side we have the buyers resistance . that is I will not spend more than
the desired price for me, 50. Anything
this in my case the example was 80 will not spend more than 80
beyond the resistance point cannot be
then you have the buyers target . in my case was 54 the cup so i will spend more
accepted. 80, if it's 81 dollars, I will
olive oil definitely spend less than this i'm happy to spend less
not accept. If it's 82 dollars, I will not
the question is though what do I want to get I wanted to get 80 and then we have
accept it. If it's ninety dollars, no. If 143 00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:15,569 it's one hundred dollars, no. If it's
the first offer so maybe that begin my offer down around 40 and then in this
$79, then yes. I can accept that. That
Charlie we have a different example so we have 12,000 is the buyers resistance
doesn't mean I will accept it, but I can
. more than 12,000 too much he wants to get 9000 so where does he begin begins
accept that. If it's eighty dollars, can I
down around 7,500 and the one more piece of information there is what it's the
accept that? Yes, that's my, that is my
sellers asking price that's public information isn't it the sellers asking
actual resistance point, right? but 81?
price
no. Both the target point and the
ok so i really like you to look carefully at this
resistance point are secret information
oops they're going to my screen again very sensitive the screen is
that you should not tell the seller. Now,
what you look very careful in your book at this and begin to understand the
here, we get into the next important
difference between the buyer and the seller i think it's easy for you to
point in negotiation. And that is this
understand I think use you do it everyday you understand it but the
idea of secret information. So this is
problem is i want you to really see that this information has to stay secret
the cup Ii want to buy. This cup I want to
you really must think what is my target we talked about this last time didn't we
buy it for 50. That's my target, my target
what is it that is my target how do I decide if i win if I lose
point, the most i will pay is 80. So 50 to
how do i decided to do a good job for a bad job you have your target clear your
80 in here, right? If you are going to
resistance right so your target to your resistance if the price keeps going up
sell to me, and I told you, "Sir I would
to your resistance
like to buy that cup, and I would like to
well then that's not so good for you but after some point that resistance . you
buy that cup somewhere from 50 to 80.." And
will not buy at all so this range here must a secret
what would you say to me? You would say,
if the buyers first offer is too low for the seller then the seller will not want
"Oh, no problem, 80." And then what would I
to sell so now we begin to look at this
say? "Well, 80 OK." 80 because 80 is still
how do you begin you begin lower than your target how much lower how much
within my resistance, right? Resistance
lower and my answer is well if you go too low the buyer will say huh
point, target point, resistance, it's
that is just solo forget it I don't want to talk to you right you don't want to
inside. Now, that was pretty stupid of me
go that low but you don't want to go over your target
to tell you that, right? I should just
this means the first offer must be higher than the seller's resistance . ah
tell you that 100 is way too much. I'm
so now we bring in the cellars resistance . remember the buyers
not going to
resistance . that is the highest price the buyer will pay higher than that is
spend that much, and then you say well
too high
how much do you want? and then maybe I
what about the seller's resistance . well the seller is different the seller
begin by saying how much do I want. Maybe
would like the price to go up and up and up the buyer would like the price to go
I begin by saying 40, and then we can
down and down and down so for this seller if the price goes too low
work up like that, right? So we begin with
this seller will lose money so the seller has a resistance . also what is
two ideas here, both of them are secret.
that that's the lowest price the seller will sell for
Resistance point and target point-- please
however this lowest price the seller will sell for its secret it secret
remember those. Those are so awesomely up
he's not going to tell you what it is I mean he may say that he knows he may
here, right? Resistance point and target
tell you something but it will not necessarily be true so this is the
point. Okay. Secret information-- you never
seller's resistance .
want to tell the other side, in this case,
and for the seller's resistance . and the buyers resistance . they're apart
the seller. You never want to tell the
they are not together I mean usually they be a part if they're together
seller. Okay, now then let's change
there's no negotiation everything is already agreed upon
perspective a little bit. Now the seller
so they are apart now this area between the two is what we call the negotiations
is a little bit different, right? If the
own the bargaining range
seller is selling this cup, then the
let's take a look at this slide here very quickly so let's take a look at the
seller must begin with a price, right?
buyers view if the price is too low for this seller he or she will walk away
Because he's selling it, I mean you
from the negotiation if the price is too high for the buyer he or she will walk
cannot go and ask, "I would like to buy
away from the negotiation look at this picture so if you look at the very
that cup. How much is it?" and the seller
bottom that's called the bargaining range the bargaining range the
says, "Hmm. I don't know. How much money do
bargaining range meaning we can have the price go all the way down in this
you have?" Right? That doesn't work,
example to 7,000 or the price go all the way up to 12,000 so seven thousand
right? No, I don't think that works,
twelve thousand is the bargaining range lower than 7,000 if the price goes under
although there are some companies that
7,000 guess what that price is too low for the seller that price is too low for
do that kind of thing. So if you come to
the seller that means that buyers offer is too low but this too low mean it
me you say, "Mr. warden, I'd like to buy
means the seller just says nope I don't want to talk to you
that cup." And I say, "Hmm.. the price of this
negotiation over how about the other end 12,000 can the price go over 12,000 know
cup, let me tell you.. How much money is in
why because the prices over 12,000 that price is too high for the buyer too high
your pocket right now?" I don't think that
for the buyer that means the seller's offer is too high
would be a good way to begin. What do we
the seller wants too much the seller wants the price too high a buyer cannot
normally begin with? Normally, you go to
agree so those are the two resistance points sellers resistance . and the
the seller, and there's a price there, a
buyers resistance . if you go beyond these there's no deal
sticker price or a list price or retail
so we must stay within these the problem is the buyers resistance . is secret
price, and that price is listed there. Or
information and the seller's resistance . is secret information so we need to
you can ask me and I tell you 100. This
guess where they are what we have inside there and 9000 we have the buyers target
cup is 100. So the seller must always
right that's what he would like to get and we also have the sellers asking
begin. The seller must always begin with
price
some public information, and that public
that's the price he would like to get that's not secret that's the one piece
information is going to be the price.
of information that's public not secret
So we call this the seller's asking price,
yeah
the sellers asking price. OK. Now, after
each side must have their own goals clear and guess what the other side
the seller is asking price what comes
secrets are now this is another thing that I want you to think about in
next? Let's take a look. "At the start of
negotiation remember today I'm emphasizing you want to win
the negotiation, one value is public
how do you win you win by winning where you win by making the other side lose
everyone can see it. While two values are
same thing
secret." So the asking price, the selling
another key point today which sounds again it sounds not nice
price, the retail price, the list price
and that is you want to keep your information secret i want to keep my
this in fact is public. Two other values
information secret but you want to get the other side secret information out
or secret, but we'll talk about that in a
how do you get it
second. So the first step is for the
there are many ways and none of them are too good
buyer to decide how much to offer or the
they're all kind of trick the other side fool the other side make them say
initial starting offer, right? So if i go
something they don't mean to say get them confused get that information of
to buy the cup, and the list price is 100,
course they don't want to give it to you so you need to get it somehow so that's
I must decide what do I say to begin
how you can win
with. Do I say 0? "You should give me that
how do you win keep your information secret and get the other side's
cup for free, please." Well, I can't start
information out get their secret information to not be secret anymore
with zero. I guess I could start with 0, but no
I know you're saying oh professor warden this also terrible we should be nice to
one's going to take me serious, right? So
each other and I'm saying okay you can do that and you will be the one who
what do I begin with? That's going to be
loses in a negotiation the buyers first offer must not be below the seller's
the opening or first offer. The first
resistance . so the buyer wants to begin low price right
offer needs to be lower than the target.
how low well I don't know but not too low because it's too low then game over
Remember my target, right? Remember my
higher than the seller's target . the seller will agree to the offer quickly
target? My target was 50. Since the seller
so if you go
will try to raise the price, the seller
hi if you go high then the seller may say yep no problem and that always
will always try to make the price go up.
happens doesn't it
So the buyer should begin under the
that always happens when you go somewhere and you say something like I'd
target. If my target is 50, I would like
like to buy back up
to get 50. How do I get 50? I must begin
how much is it he says it's one hundred dollars and I say well i'll give you 90
below 50. I say i'll give you 40. So here
minutes okay
we have this little chart. I like this a
indian what do I said oh 90 why did I agree so fast I could have got it for 80
lot. We can see, on this graph here, on
right so if you go high high enough right then you're going to be past that
this line, we have three things so far. On
target of the past the target of the seller the seller will happy to give it
the right side, we have the buyers
to use over the target no problem
resistance point, that is I will not
so here we have the chart again look at this closely with me
spend more than this. In my case, the
stick with me try to follow this little bit confusing right but i think you can
example was 80. I will not spend
do it so we have over here is the two ends on the left end buyer's offer to
more than 80. Then you have the buyer's
low buyer's offer too low that means the price is too low this seller will not
target point. In my case was 50 for the
sell with on the right side the right side on the right side is sellers offer
cup, so I will spend more. I will
to high sellers offer too high so this is the bargaining range of bargaining
definitely spend less than this. I'm
range right we can't go outside this range
happy to spend less. The question is
otherwise nothing will work right nothing will happen no one will agree
though, what do I want to get? I wanted to
ok you can see here some things are secret so the buyers resistance . is
get 80, and then we have the first offer.
secret the buyers target . this secret that should be you if you're the buyer
So maybe I begin my offer down around 40.
and what about the cellar
And then in this chart, we have a
well you need to guess the seller's resistance . and you need to guess the
different example. So we have 12,000. It's
seller's target he's not going to tell you what they are now here's an
the buyers resistance point. More than
interesting one right here that we kind of talked about the not really focused
12,000, too much. He wants to get 9,000, so
on so far so that's this seller's target . so this is what the seller would like
where does he begin? He begins down
to get for the price but what about the list price
around 7,500. And the one more piece of
here's the list price this is the sticker price that's the sticker price
information there is what it's the
well guess what the sticker price the asking price the retail price is higher
sellers asking price? That's public
than the target
information, isn't it? The seller's asking
. the target price why does the seller make the price higher than what he wants
price. OK. So I really like you to look
why does he do that because he knows that the buyer is going to push the
carefully at this. (Oops. There we go. My
price down right so what does he do he begins higher begins further up
screen again, very sensitive, the screen
so what about this the buyer same thing he begins low why begin low because he
is.) Now what? You look very careful in
knows he's going to be pushed up in price
your book at this, and begin to
ok so let's take a look at this carefully together to make sure we
understand the difference between the
really have a good grip of it
buyer and the seller. I think it's easy
ok so we come back to look at this picture one more time because i want to
for you to understand. I think you do
really emphasize how important this idea ears and to get you thinking in a way
it every day. You understand it, but the
that really understands what is this bargaining range
problem is I want you to really see that
what are the resistance points so let me go ahead and jump back to our slide here
this information has to stay secret. You
a bit spend a little bit of time trying to specify clarify i guess i should say
really must think what is my target? We
a little bit on this okay now the key point to begin with there is what is the
talked about this last time, didn't we?

I'm trying to buy from the seller and I know the seller's resistance . i'm going

must be secret also the targets must be secret that is what is the goal
lower? And my answer is well if you go
what is the gold package this all must remain fairly secret now you can say
too low, the buyer will say, "Huh, that is
what you want you can tell the buyer i want to buy this product you can tell
just so low. Forget it. I don't want to
the buyer the price you want but you don't want that to be your real target
talk to you." Right? So you don't want to
you need to go outside away from that because they're going to push you back

so the reason I like this picture so much the reason i like this chart so

much that this chart really gives us that that clear feeling of here are the

here's the point to begin with here are the stages inside it's not as simple as
the seller's resistance point. Remember
just saying I get as low as possible like zero i always ask people how low do
the buyers resistance point? That is the

highest price the buyer will pay. Higher
it and say well that's true lower is better but look if you go too low the
than that is too high. What about the

this then when you go to negotiate all you're thinking is what's my gold

bargaining range, the bargaining range,
. if you do that and you keep your information secret you have a better
meaning we can have the price go all the
chance to win more in the distributive bar game if you let your secret out
way down, in this example, to 7000 or the
you're going to lose in distributed bargaining
price go all the way up to 12,000. So
all right good luck with your negotiation
7000 to 12,000 is the bargaining range.
yeah
Lower than 7,000, if the price goes under
7,000, guess what? That price is too low
for the seller. That price is too low for
the seller. That means the buyer's offer
is too low. What does too low mean? It
means the seller just says, "Nope, I don't
want to talk to you. Negotiation over!" How
about the other end, 12,000? Can the price
go over 12,000? No! Why? because if the
price is over 12,000, that price is too
high for the buyer, too high for the
buyer. That means the sellers offer is
too high. The seller wants too much. The
seller wants the price too high. A buyer
cannot agree, so those are the two
resistance points, sellers resistance
point and the buyers resistance point. If
you go beyond these, there's no deal, so
we must stay within these.
The problem is the buyers resistance
point is secret information, and the
sellers resistance point is secret
information. So we need to guess where
they are. What do we have inside there? At
nine thousand, we have the buyers target,
right? That's what he would like to get.
And we also have the sellers asking
price. That's the price he would like to
get. That's not secret. That's the one
piece of information that's public, not
secret. "Each side must have their own
goals clear, and guess what the other
side secrets are." Now this is another
thing, but I want you to think about in
negotiation, remember today I'm
emphasizing you want to win. How do you
win? You win by winning or you win by
making the other side lose, same thing.
Another key point today which sounds
again, it sounds not nice. And that is you
want to keep your information secret. I
want to keep my information secret, but
you want to get the other side secret
information out. How do you get it? There
are many ways, and none of them are too
good. They're all kind of trick the other
side. Fool the other side. Make them say
something they don't mean to say. Get
them confused. Get that information. Of
course, they don't want to give it to you,
so you need to get it somehow. So that's
how you can win. How do you win? Keep your
information secret, and get the other
side's information out. Gget their secret
information to not be secret anymore. I
know you're saying, "Oh Professor Warden,
this is all so terrible! We should be nice to
each other." And I'm saying, "OK. You can
do that, and you will be the one who
loses in a negotiation."
"The buyers first offer must
not be below the sellers resistance
point..." So the buyer wants to begin low
price, right? How low? Well, I don't know,
but not too low. Because if it's too low,
then game over. Higher than the sellers
target point, the seller will agree to
the offer quickly. So if you go high, if you
go high, then the seller may say, "Yep no
problem." And that always happens, doesn't
it? That always happens when you go
somewhere and you say something like, "I'd
like to buy that cup. How much is it?" and
he says, "That's one hundred dollars." And I
say, "Well, I'll give you 90." "Nice, OK. 90." And
what do I say? "OH! 90, why did I agree so
fast? I could have got it for 80." Right? so
if you go high, high enough, right? then
you're going to be past that target,
past the target of the seller, and
the seller will be happy to give it to you because it's
over the target, no problem. So here we
have the chart, again. Look at this
closely with me. Stick with me. Try to
follow this, a little bit confusing, right?
but I think you can do it. So what we
have over here is the two ends. On the
left end, buyer's offer too low, buyer's
offer too low. That means the price is
too low. The seller will not sell. What's
on the right side? The right side, on the
right side is seller's offer too high,
sellers offer too high. So this is the
bargaining range, the bargaining range
right? We can't go outside this range,
otherwise nothing will work, right?
Nothing will happen. No one will agree.
Okay. You can see here some things are
secret. So the buyers resistance point is
secret. The buyers target point is secret.
That should be you if you're the buyer.
And what about the seller? Well, you need
to guess the sellers resistance point.
And you need to guess the sellers target.
He's not going to tell you what they are.
Now, here's an interesting one, right here
that we've kind of talked about but not
really focused on so far. So that's this
seller's target point. So this is what
the seller would like to get for the
price, but what about the list price?
Here's the list price. This is the
sticker price. That's the sticker price.
Well, guess what? The sticker price, the
asking price, the retail price is higher
than the target point, the target price.
Why does the seller make the price
higher than what he wants? Why does he do
that? Because he knows that the buyer is
going to push the price down, right? So
what does he do? He begins higher. He
begins further up. So what about this, the
buyer? same thing. He begins low. Why begin
low? Because he knows he's going to be
pushed up in price. OK. So let's take a
look at this carefully together to make
sure we really have a good grip of it.
OK. So we come back to look at this
picture one more time because I want to
really emphasize how important this idea
is, and to get you thinking in a way that
really understands what is this
bargaining range, what are the resistance
points. So let me go ahead and
jump back to our slide here a bit. Spend
a little bit of time trying to specify,
clarify, I guess I should say, a little
bit on this. Okay. Now, the key point to
begin with is what is the bargaining
range, right? So our bargaining range
begins at the sellers high end, which is
the resistance point for the...
......resistance point
for the buyer over on this side. And then
the resistance point for the seller over
on this end, over here. So with these two
ends in place, we need to remember that
the negotiation will not take place if
you're outside. So if you're way over
here or your way over here, not going to
happen, right? Why is it going to happen?
It's going to happen because we're
inside the bargaining range. So that's
the first point, and then what's another
important point. Let me change to my
highlighter here. I think the key point
here is what is your secret information?
Secret information, why is secret
information so important? because secret
information means if the other side
knows, well, then it's game over. You're
doomed. Because if I know the buyers
resistance point, and I'm the seller, I'm
going to go as close as I can to that
resistance point. On the other hand, the
reverse is also true. If I'm the buyer,
and I'm trying to buy from the seller
and I know the sellers resistance point,
I'm going to push as close as I can to
that resistance point. So the resistance
points must be secret. Also, the targets
must be secret, that is what is the goal?
what is the Goal package-- this all must
remain fairly secret. Now, you can say
what
you want. You can tell the buyer I want
to buy this product. You can tell the
buyer the price you want, but you don't
want that to be your real target. You
need to go outside, away from that
because they're going to push you back.
So the reason I like this picture so
much, the reason I like this chart so
much is that this chart really gives us
that, that clear feeling of here are the
points to begin with. Here are the points
to begin with. Here are the stages inside.
It's not as simple as just saying I get
as low as possible, like 0. I always ask
people how low do you want? They say well
lower is better, right? And I say, "Well,
that's true. Lower is better, but look if
you go too low, the negotiation will not
even happen. They won't take you serious.
They won't negotiate or withdraw." The
same... is true on the other side,
too high. So we've got these points at
the end. Then we have these points inside
the target points. So those target points
secret, very secret. If you let that out,
it's game over. You're going to lose, so
please take a look at this graphic very
carefully, and don't be intimidated by
it, thinking, "Wow! It's too complicated."
It's not really complicated, but on the
other hand, if you understand it, don't
just walk away and say, "Well, I got it. I
understand. I can draw a picture if i
take a test." No, it's not about taking a
test. It's about making your plan for
your negotiation so that you know what
are your beginning points what are your
resistance points, guessing what the
other side resistance point is, guessing
what the other side's target is, knowing
what your target is, and then beginning
your negotiation in this way, away from
your target, moving up towards your
target, being careful. Did you pass your
target? Now, you have to watch out. Don't
pass your resistance point and measuring
these things as you negotiate. This is
especially true when you have multiple
opportunities. You may have multiple
buyers that you're selling to or you may
have different
sellers that you can buy from. So you can
choose them. So you can go to each one of
them and negotiate. By having this very
clear picture, you can then decide who
gives you the better deal, who gives you
the better result. But how do you know
that? If you don't have your ideas very
clear, if you don't have your resistance
and target points, and before that, your
goal package, if you don't know any of
these things, if you don't know what is
my goal package, then you cannot possibly
make this. And if you don't make this,
then when you go to negotiate, all you're
thinking is what's my goal package?
That's what I want. That's kind of like
hit or miss. I get one hundred percent
or I get nothing. No. That's not the
way negotiation works. Probably, you want
to get some things you want. You're going
to lose some things you want, but how do
you get the most? How do you get more? In
distributive bargaining because you get
something other side loses something, you
need to have your goal package ready. You
need to be very clear. Then you need to
lay this out clearly. Know your
resistance point. Know your target point,
and guess. See if you can guess the other
side's resistance point, and the other
side's target point. If you do that, and
you keep your information secret, you'll
have a better chance to win more in the
distributive bargain. If you let your
secret out, you're going to lose in
distributive bargaining. All right. Good
luck with your negotiation!
