Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- We’re both playing it so close to the chest that neither of us can find a better deal, but I’m scared that if I open up about what I actually want they’ll just use it against me
- I actually do have a solid other option, and I keep going back and forth on whether to mention it
- I’m holding my real reasons close because saying what I actually need out loud feels like handing over leverage
- The deal is closed and fine, but I keep negotiating in the dark
- I’m walking into this knowing exactly what they’re probably thinking about me
Practices that may help
- Share information to unlock value
Reveal interests (not your bottom line) so both sides can find the better deal.
Win-Win Thinking: Expanding the Pie - Decide strategically whether to reveal your BATNA
A strong BATNA is worth revealing; a weak one is better concealed while you work on improving it.
BATNA: Your Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement - Disclose your own interests explicitly — not just your positions
Stating what you actually need — not just what you’re asking for — opens the door to creative solutions you couldn’t have imagined asking for.
Interests vs. Positions: The Core of Integrative Negotiation - Run a negotiation debrief to learn what value was left on the table
After closing, compare priorities with the other side to see the trades you both missed.
Expanding the Pie: Negotiation Beyond Splitting the Difference - The accusation audit
Say the worst thing they might be thinking about you — out loud, first — to defuse it.
Never Split the Difference, In Practice - Make multiple equivalent simultaneous offers (MESOs)
Propose several package deals of equal value to you — see which the other side prefers.
Expanding the Pie: Negotiation Beyond Splitting the Difference - Negotiate: know your minimum and be willing to give and take
Decide in advance what you are willing to accept short of your full ask, and be ready to offer something in exchange.
DEAR MAN: DBT’s Skill for Asking for What You Want Effectively - Manage your own flinch response — don’t give away your real floor
Control your visible reaction to counteroffers so you don’t inadvertently signal where your actual limit is.
The Flinch and Reactive Devaluation, Made Practical - Map the ZOPA before negotiating
Know your walk-away point and estimate theirs before the first offer is made.
Expanding the Pie: Negotiation Beyond Splitting the Difference - Expand the Open area through deliberate self-disclosure

- Chris Voss Negotiation Tactics
Chris Voss’s core move is tactical empathy: name and voice the other side’s emotions so they feel understood, which lowers their defenses and opens real bargaining. The signature tools — mirroring, labeling, calibrated questions, and the accusation audit — are practitioner tactics from FBI hostage negotiation, grounded in well-established psychology of emotion and rapport rather than tested as a packaged system.
