Never Split the Difference - Masters of Negotiation series

Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz is the most recent book in our Masters of Negotiation series. But it immediately grabbed my attention. It's easy to read and full of absolute gold.
Chris Voss is a former FBI hostage negotiator. Never Split the Difference presents negotiation based on the techniques he used in that role. If you are negotiating for someone's life, splitting the difference is a poor strategy!

LESSON NOTES
1. Successful negotiation requires thorough preparation for how to proceed. Access all available prior knowledge.
2. Learn to manage your emotions.
3. Practice active listening techniques to make the other party feel a sense of trust.
4. Practice empathy for the other side, to gain trust and understanding.
5. Summarize and repeat their concerns in a way that will make them say, 'That’s right.' This builds agreement to your solution.
6. Use the word 'no' to uncover points of contention.
7. Use the words 'how' or 'what' to convince the other party to solve shared problems with you. 'How' questions help make agreements practical and actionable.
8. Most communication is nonverbal. You need to be able to interpret tone of voice and body language.
9. Three negotiating styles:
- assertive
- analytical
- accommodating.
10. Make progressive offers so the other party thinks they are getting as much as possible.
11. Look for Black Swans - hidden factors that can completely change the negotiation if you can discover and use them.
