Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- The deal is stuck because they swear the numbers will hit and I’m sure they won’t, and neither of us will budge on our forecast
- My whole job search is just refreshing job boards and firing off applications into the void, competing with hundreds of strangers for whatever happens to be posted
- The offer in front of me is below what I swore I’d accept, and I can feel myself reaching for a reason to say yes anyway

- Batna Negotiation
BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement), developed by Fisher, Ury, and Patton in Getting to Yes, is what you will do if this negotiation fails completely. It is the only rational basis for your walk-away point. A strong BATNA gives you genuine power because you can credibly walk away; a weak BATNA means any deal is better than your alternative, and a skilled counterpart will sense and exploit that.
