Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- It’s turned into a pure contest of who’ll budge first, and I hate that whoever caves just loses face
- The numbers actually work and yet they still won’t budge, and I keep sweetening the offer to no effect
- Every time I push back on the terms it somehow turns into them feeling attacked, and then we’re fighting about us instead of the actual issue
- The second they push back I either cave completely or harden into all-or-nothing, because I walked in without ever deciding what I could actually live with
- We’re treating this like there’s one pie to fight over and someone has to lose
Practices that may help

It aims for agreements that are better for both parties than their alternatives — without requiring either to capitulate or play hardball. - Distinguish substantive, procedural, and psychological interests
The interest behind a position is often not about the money or the terms — it may be about face, fairness, or control.

It’s an influential framework grounded in decision theory and negotiation experience rather than a lab-tested protocol. - Logroll by trading issues of unequal importance
