The Art of Negotiation - The Decoy Method

When you are negotiating, things may get tricky pretty fast when your opposite party tries to play hard ball with you.
Not to worry.
What I'm going to reveal to you is a good method you can use to turn things around - fast!
Negotiators call this the 'decoy' method. What in the blue hell is that?
Let me explain...
Say, you and the other guy is haggling over a profit sharing cut. You want to outsource a deal to him. He wants a 70% cut from the total revenue . You are only prepared to give him 50%.
So the profit sharing cut is the crucial factor here. If that is a major issue with him, you may not want to keep talking about it. At least temporarily. Because that may be likely to get you nowhere. So what do you do next?
Invent A Totally New Issue!
Yep. Cook up a new story. Throw a smoke bomb. Anything. Just divert his attention away from the real issue.









Have you ever negotiate with someone who is a touch nut to crack?
