Ever wondered what it takes to transform a tense negotiation into a triumphant agreement? Our latest episode features Chris Voss, former FBI negotiator and acclaimed author of "Never Split the Difference," who joins Wayne and me in an eye-opening discussion on mastering this essential skill. We delve into the real-world applications of negotiation, from sealing the deal in high-stakes real estate to ensuring harmony in our personal lives, all while maintaining integrity and steering clear of manipulation.
As the conversation unfolds, we peel back the layers of negotiation within business and real estate, unearthing the delicate balance between winning and losing. I open up about some hard-earned lessons from failed negotiations and the importance of equal contribution in partnerships. We also tackle why I choose to take the lead during real estate discussions, even with an agent by my side, and how active listening can be your secret weapon in aligning with a seller's aspirations to achieve outcomes that benefit all.
The episode wraps up with a deep dive into the nuances of negotiating value, where we recount tales from our arsenal of experiences. We discuss the finesse required to walk away from overpriced deals, the leverage in the flexibility of terms, and the untapped potential of building lasting business relationships through 'negotiating with love.'
