Recommendation

Archaic advice purports that negotiation is a zero-sum game, and participants must play mind games with their counterparts to gain the upper hand. But negotiations ought to be “incredibly empathetic mutual conversations” whereby all parties reach a satisfactory agreement. Nevertheless, negotiating can be excruciatingly uncomfortable for some, and, like every skill, requires practice. In this episode of the Jordan Harbinger Show podcast, entrepreneur Alex Kouts shares fascinating insights into negotiation. Follow his advice to become more comfortable with rejection and, ultimately, with asking.

Take-Aways

  • In negotiation, as in any skill, hard work matters more than talent.
  • Humans are hardwired to be agreeable, which is why negotiating is uncomfortable.
  • The negotiator who prepares most thoroughly is more likely to triumph.
