Even if you have the best intentions, it’s easy to get distracted by the wrong things and make fatal negotiation mistakes. This checklist is designed to help you sharpen your focus and hone your strategy as you approach the negotiation table.  \n1 Prepare a Negotiation  \nCheat Sheet  \nMost people prepare for negotiations the wrong way . They spend hours researching their counterpart and come to the table armed with trivial facts and figures to justify their logic. Although knowing whom you’re up against is never a bad idea, memorizing information won’t help you create a better deal  . In fact, your research can distract you from the real live person in front of you and cause  \nyou to make assumptions—a dangerous thing in any negotiation  .  \nContrary to popular belief, it’s possible to learn almost everything you need to know about your counterpart in the negotiation itself . Rather than preemptively gathering information, focus on translating what you already know into an actionable communication plan  .  \nUltimate Negotiation Checklist for Sales Teams 4  \nStart by preparing three to five (negative and positive) labels to perform an accusation audit and get out ahead of any negative perceptions  . Next, come up with three to five calibrated and no-oriented questions designed to identify your counterpart’s fears, locate potential deal killers, and uncover items of unequal value.  \nBefore you begin that first meeting, remember to set your sightson the short term  . At this point in the conversation, you shouldn’tbe focused on signing a deal or how that deal will look  . Instead, focus on hearing your counterpart out and establishing a communication based on mutual understanding  . Your end goal should be to make it to another meeting  .  \nNeed more guidance on how to prepare?  \nUse our Never Split the Difference Study Guide.  \n“Contrary to popular belief, it’s possible to learn almost everything you need to know about your counterpart in the negotiation itself.”  \nUltimate Negotiation Checklist for Sales Teams 5  \n2 Uncover What You Don’t  Know and Build Rapport  \nMost of what you need to know in a negotiation can be learned by listening with tactical empathy . Rather than giving a sales pitch, think about how you can encourage your counterpart to open up to you  . If you can get your counterpart talking, you’ll gain insight into their perceptions, fears, history, and perspective  .  \nUltimate Negotiation Checklist for Sales Teams 6  \nChannel your emotional intelligence and situational awareness to pickup on the subtle cues your counterpart is giving you  . This awareness will help you determine what type of negotiator you’re up against and communicate to their standards  . Use mirrors, summaries, labels, and calibrated questions to demonstrate understanding and confirm your counterpart’s core drivers  . You’ll know you’ve understood correctly when you hear a “that’s right”(not to be confused with “you’re right”) .  \nAs you attempt to build rapport, ","cbCaijp1Gul2gxAZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijp1Gul2gxAZ","pdf",2486380,23,"English","# Table of Contents\n## Introduction\n## 1 Prepare a Negotiation Cheat Sheet\n## 2 Uncover What You Don’t Know and Build Rapport\n## 3 Get Out Ahead of Negative Perceptions\n## 4 Don’t Try to Close Too Quickly\n## 5 Know How to Make “No” Work for You\n## 6 Learn the Distinction Between Value and Price\n## 7 Close with Implementation\n## Cold Calling\n## Checklist for Sales Teams","[{\"question\":\"How should sales teams prepare before a negotiation?\",\"answer\":\"Prepare a negotiation cheat sheet by focusing on translating known information into an actionable communication plan.
