Deal Zone

The Deal Zone

The Deal Zone is the range of potential mutual agreement between stakeholders across all deal variables.

Context

Determine all the possible variables in the negotiation such as timing, quality, relationship, personnel experience, materials, and so on. Price is the last thing to consider.

Team Alignment

Consider the range of potential options for your stakeholder and map against yours to determine the Deal Zone.

Mandate

The Deal Zone is determined, but don't forget to think about how to co-create beyond price and traditional variables. How can you apply creativity with new types of deal structures and strategies for a WinWith™ outcome?

Unlike the economic principle of Supply and Demand where a fixed price is determined and offered on a ‘take it or leave it’ approach, the art of negotiation is about trading the multiple variables and shared micro-forces that impact agreement on time, quality, price, units and many other possible considerations created by the market at the time of the negotiation. Each of the parties involved in the negotiation will have their own best and worst case for each of these variables ie. as many deal zones as there are variables.

We need to be curious and dig deep to reveal all market variables. Most of the time there will be a range before hitting a point where each party would consider walking away; and it is usually unspoken between parties. The WinWith™ Negotiation process is about understanding this reality, and enable participants to maximise the value in the deal through applied curiosity. It is solely our own skillset and mindset that maximises the value in our negotiations.

What our clients say


“The emphasis upon clarity of positioning one’s intention is a negotiation game changer”

MARK HEBBLEWHITE
Barrister & Mediator, Victorian Bar

“Great course – loved the way that theory and practice were linked and the use of video to play back and highlight points of great application. Got a lot out of it.”

ADAM BEAUMONT
CEO, Forest Stewardship Council Australia

“Great energy, a lot of learnings. The power of following a deal cycle and knowing when to ask pertinent questions to get agree- ment can be crucial in negotiation success. The most valuable part was the “win-with” philosophy and I found the part around Spiritual Intelligence very eye opening. The experiential part was a good way to learn by doing.”

WARWICK PEEL
CEO, Future Directors Institute


Deal Canvas

WinWith™ Deal Canvas

Deal preparation is at the core of a successful negotiation. The WinWith™ Deal Canvas is the starting point for co-creation and creativity in negotiation. Capture the unimagined value in the deal.

Context

Think about the overall context and the outcomes of the relationship, before thinking about the terms or trading elements of the deal.

Team Alignment

Allocate roles to the negotiation team and ensure you all are playing off the one strategy and intentions are aligned.

Mandate

Determine your mandate. Has the deal owner established the conditions and expectations?

Sources of Power

What are your needs and wants? Identify your sources of power. What could make them move?

Information Disclosure

Gain clarify on what information can be disclosed. What information do you need to ask for?

Relationship Dynamic

Rank your relationship dynamic - where it is right now. Think about this relationship long term and where you want it to go. Define your intention to achieve it.

Deal Zone

Evaluate the Deal Zone. Each side will have an acceptable deal zone for each of the deal variables. Determine your own, and anticipate the stakeholder's deal zone.

Stakeholder Preparation

Repeat the same process for your stakeholder's team. What do you know for sure? What are their needs and wants? What sources of power?

Trading Variables

What are the trading variables across all aspects of the deal? What do you have flexibility on? Make sure that price is the last thing you think about and ensure you remain flexible.
