Negotiation and Deal-Making Questions

Skills for reaching favorable, durable agreements with another party: preparing a negotiation position (interests vs. positions, BATNA and reservation price, target and walk-away points), structuring and sequencing concessions, handling multi-party or multi-issue deals, managing leverage and information asymmetry, and closing terms into a clear, mutually understood agreement. Applies to contexts such as compensation and offer negotiation, vendor and contract terms, partnership and deal structuring, and internal cross-team agreements.
