In this episode Steve and Steve Richman discuss:

• The Three P’s of Negotiation
• Openness to other outcomes
• Emotion and logic 
• Concepts for success 

Key Takeaways: 

• Prepare, probe and propose. Preparation is key and being flexible about the outcome is essential in negotiations. 
• Always be willing to explore other options. Don’t be emotionally attached to an outcome. 
• Whether your perspective is from a more logical side or emotional side, it’s important for you to be able to see things from the other side and consider it’s validity even if it doesn’t make sense at the moment. 
• Be an expert in your field, you have to understand what you’re doing. The follow-up is beyond critical, when you say you’ll do something, do it. 

“If you know where you wanna get to, and it’s been working, continue to negotiate that way… the person who wins a negotiation is the person that’s always willing to walk away.” - Steve Richman
