How can emotional intelligence help you negotiate better deals?

Hacer un chequeo emocional antes de cualquier reunión es esencial. Tener un alto nivel de desarrollo de autoconocimiento resulta un eslabón clave, ya que gracias a ello podremos identificar con mayor facilidad cómo nos sentimos, y tendremos presente las consecuencias que podría ocasionar una mala gestión de dichas emociones. Además, conociéndonos a nosotros mismos, sabremos qué es lo mejor para equilibrarnos y estar 100% presentes en la reunión.

If you are feeling anxious or angry or experiencing any number of emotions that interfere with your focus and you ability to be engaged, take time to calm yourself by doing what works best for you, e.g., slow deep breaths, box breathing, going for a short walk, taking a sip of water, reviewing your notes, practicing mindfulness if that's what works for you, etc. There is no one size fits all. Take the time you need to allow yourself to calm down so you focus on your objectives and your counterpart. Be aware of your own emotions and those of your counterpart. You can improve your emotional intelligence by listening, observing and trying to understand differing opinions in your everyday interactions with others.

It is easier to say know your emotions than to actually DO the work of identifying your emotions. I struggled with this and it can be frustrating to many of us who are in the moment. A great way to identify your emotions is to proactively engage them. Check-in with yourself and ask yourself how do I feel? Be more present with it. You can use the feelings wheel (feel free to look it up) that will help you identify them. Once you identify your emotions, acknowledge and feel it. Next, understand the intention behind the emotion. Sometimes this requires more time and contemplation. In negotiations, one can feel anxious or even annoyed. Both are normal and ok. What is behind these emotions? Address your intention, open the door to understanding.

Prep for negotiations by understanding your own emotions. Feeling anxious? You might rush decisions. Feeling zen? You might miss cues. Before every talk, I take a breath to center myself. Mindfulness, reflection, and even feedback help me stay emotionally aware.

Acredito que a inteligência emocional é essencial para uma negociação bem-sucedida. Quando conheço minhas emoções, evito reações impulsivas e me conecto melhor com as pessoas. Pratico empatia, escuto ativamente e sempre busco feedback para me aprimorar. Esse autocontrole me ajuda a construir parcerias sólidas e alcançar resultados extraordinários nas minhas negociações.

When salespeople only think of getting that commission, then this shows they aren't there for their customer. If you want recurrent and loyal customers, you need to understand their own: -Pain -Frustrations -Fears -Hopes -Dreams The product or service is meant to help them with their fears in order for them to achieve their dreams.

The best sellers deploy deep listening and ability to see their customers POV and communicate this to “win” more than not. That’s because both parties can WIN, but only if you see things from their POV.

When you bring Emotional Intelligence into negotiations, it's not just about winning and grabbing the best deal. It's more about connecting with your clients or counterparts, figuring out what they really want, and helping them get a deal that works for them. Think of it as building a long-term relationship where everyone wins in the end. It's not a zero-sum game; it's about creating partnerships that benefit everyone involved. And yeah, you'll need to be socially aware and good at managing relationships to pull it off.

Navigating conversations towards a mutually beneficial outcome is a skill that results in more closed sales and better partnerships. Understanding your own emotions is the first step in understanding the emotions of others - both are key steps in negotiations and mastering emotional intelligence.

When you don't know your emotions and have a tendency to fall to their level, you become an easy prey for a smart and skillful negotiator. EQ is can not only help you negotiate great deals for all, but make you a better human in general.

When you're negotiating, keeping your emotions in check is a big deal. Different triggers can bring up all sorts of feelings. It's key to understand that emotions aren't good or bad; they're messengers, energy that needs to flow in the right direction. When handled well, emotions become like a power source driving productivity. But if you don't manage them right, it's like bottling up energy, a ticking time bomb waiting to explode and mess up your negotiation.

Managing your emotions requires you to shift the focus from your POV to gain the POV of the person you are negotiating with. Let them paint their complete picture. Do not interject your thoughts. At this stage you need to use active listening which will enable them to freely share their perspective, needs, feelings. AND in the end if you can not summarize the facts and the feelings you heard you probably were not managing your own emotions.

In my experience knowing when to simply say, "Let me get back to you on that" or "I need a day to process" allows you to maintain emotional control and protect the integrity of the relationship. Knowing your own emotional triggers is crucial in maintaining composure during negotiations.

While times goes we have to confront with ourself. In personal way & profesional way. We all have our private life & battle we have to or we did confront and win 'em at the end.

Begin with self-awareness as your foundation. Understand your inner landscape to enhance your performance. Avon's CEO, Andrea Jung, emphasizes consistently tuning into emotions for critical decisions and authentic connections. Then, there's self-regulation. Ever wanted to reconsider a hasty emotional response? Emotional intelligence allows pause, reflection, and thoughtful responses, a potent asset in negotiations. Harness your emotions strategically, navigate deals with finesse, consider diverse perspectives, and build strong relationships for successful negotiations. Also, use Mindfulness to ground yourself to the present moment, and/or meditation (I.e. loving kindness meditation) to put you in the right mood to face though clients.

One thing I've found helpful is to share your positive emotions! Don't be afraid to exude confidence and excitement in negotiations. This can be contagious and when combined with skillful communication, usually leads to a mutually beneficial and healthy partnership.

Understanding the emotions of the other party can be helpful. Use that as a road sign to regulate your own emotions. The goal would be the neutralize the energy not to negate the emotions of others. The key to emotional intelligence is to have synergy between being tactful yet trustworthy. Do not be overtly selfish with blind ambition that you ruin a good opportunity. Also, be willing to walk away knowing that you had a boundary and you maintained it. Also, learn to work around arbitrary issues. Keep the goal the goal without getting swayed by nonsensical matters.

Tactical empathy is such a critical facet in negotiation. You don’t have to tell the other party THEY are right, but you can help by putting yourself in their shoes, and labelling their emotions back to them. A simple sentence of acknowledgement “that’s right” is so powerful in breaking a position deadlock! Tactical empathy also stops things turning into me vs you scenario. The reality both parties can get what they want (or a version of it) and this starts with you seeing things from their POV.

The Korean concept of Nunchi (눈치), meaning "ability to listen and gauge others' moods," offers a valuable approach to emotional intelligence in negotiations. It involves observing and empathizing with others to understand their emotions. Nunchi enables a quick assessment of emotional dynamics. It allows negotiators to adapt their strategies effectively. For instance, sensing hesitation may prompt a gentler approach, while detecting enthusiasm could lead to more confident proposals. Nunchi fosters trust and respect, which are essential for open, cooperative dialogues. This is achieved through active listening and sensitivity, not by manipulating emotions but by building genuine connections for mutually beneficial outcomes.

There are no losses just lessons. Keep this in mind. In life, we are all learning and those of us who are growth-minded know that failure is part of the path to success. Our emotions are an integral part of us being more self-aware and proactive instead of reactive. The essence of emotional intelligence is the core of self-leadership. Self-leadership is our ability to inspire, influence, control our personal and professional success. We have a say in our outcomes as it relates to our emotions. Even if we may not have the ability to control every outcome, and that is okay. Life goes on and so shall we! A no can be reframed as the next option or next opportunity. Be resilient!

By embracing one's emotional responses, negotiators gain insights into their underlying concerns and priorities. This self-awareness fosters adaptability and the ability to regulate emotions, promoting a composed demeanor during negotiations. Learning from emotions extends to perceiving and interpreting counterparts' feelings, facilitating a nuanced understanding of their perspectives and needs. This empathic insight enhances communication, allowing negotiators to tailor their approach and forge mutually beneficial solutions. In essence, by valuing emotions as learning opportunities, emotional intelligence becomes a key asset for navigating and optimizing deal-making processes.

A rule of thumb when having an emotional response is to ask your, "Why am I feeling this way?", especially if it's negative our counterintuitive towards your negotiations goal. From there, you can assess what's happening for you and make an informed decision on next steps.
