Now let's dive in.

Number one, is now a bad time to talk?

Now we're going to give you several no-oriented questions in a row

because they're awesome and they help get you an advantage right away.

But one of the things I'm going to underscore on these no-oriented questions is the issue of decision fatigue.

Now look, everybody's got the same problem.

We all suffer from decision fatigue.

You suffer from decision fatigue.

What does that mean?

What that means is there are only so many decisions you can make in a given day.

There are only so many decisions any human being can make in a given day.

That's one of the reasons why if you're in prison and you come up for parole,

you want to come up for parole in the morning instead of the afternoon,

because in the afternoon they're going to give you no decision.

They're not going to be able to make a decision.

You're more likely to stay in jail.

This is not parole and parole board issues.

This is human nature issues.

There are only so many decisions,

there are only so much gas anybody has in a tank to make decisions on a given day.

And that's going to be a result of,

you know, how much sleep they got the night before,

what their diet is, what they ate that day,

whether or not they ate carbs,

where they are in their circadian rhythm.

Everybody hits a circadian low, roughly about 3 a.m and about 3 p.m.,

just part of being a human being, decision fatigue issues.

However, we found in a black swan group,

through practice and application, that people are capable of saying no at pretty much any time of the day.

I had an intern a number of years ago,

only wanted to ask me how and what questions,

because he was horrified about making a mistake.

In the middle of the afternoon,

he'd be asking me how and what questions,

and I just didn't have the gas in the tank to answer him to be able to engage in that deep thinking,

as Danny Kahneman would say.

So consequently, I'd say, like,

I don't know, don't bother me,

leave me alone, instead of giving him an answer.

Finally, I said, look, don't ever ask me a question after 1 o'clock in the afternoon where the answer isn't no,

because I could say no and I can think through the next several steps and give them guidance.

We've used this on a regular basis.

You got to get into practice using no-oriented questions.

And number one is the flip side of the most common thing you're saying on a regular basis,

which is wrong.

Actually, it's not that it's wrong.

It's just not great.

You say, have you got a few minutes to talk?

Now, I know you mean that respectfully.

and we're not throwing respect out the window here.

The Black Swan method is actually extremely respectful.

It's now a bad time to talk.

Test drive it.

Use it on a regular basis.

Build your know-oriented questions, mental synapses,

and experiment with the sort of answers that you get.

You're going to like them.

And as a side note,

I would say to you,

anybody that would say yes to that,

Do you really want to talk to them then,

at that moment, when they've actually said yes to that?

No, you don't.

All right, number two, is it a ridiculous idea?

Use this in place of,

is it a good idea for all the same reasons that I just gave you?

You've got to get your practice in.

Number three, are you against X,

Y, Z, whatever it may be?

Instead of, are you in favor of?

Again, you've got to use this to get into practice.

We had a woman in a hospital services company once who was a little skeptical of our no-oriented questions approach,

walked out of the room during the training

and reached out to the head nurse in a hospital about a program

that she'd been trying to get the head nurse to accept that the head nurse had been rejecting.

Instead of saying, do you want to agree or would you like to do this?

She said, are you against?

And then asked the question.

The head nurse immediately said no. They came to an agreement and they implemented the program.

She came walking back in the room and said,

you guys are not going to believe what just happened.

I've been trying to get agreement on this for weeks.

And I switched from a yes question to a no question and cut the deal.

Got to get your reps in.

Number four, have you given up on X?

Whatever that X may be.

This is context driven.

What's the context?

It has to be something they've already started on.

Otherwise, you're using a black swan skill as a manipulative trap,

which is not what we advise.

They have to have already started on this.

Now when do you use this?

You use this when they are ghosting you.

They've gone silent on you.

This will restart your conversation 999 times out of a thousand

Don't let the fact that it stops one in a thousand times stop you scare you Nothing works all the time.

This works more than anything else does and what makes it work?

Well, you got to keep this in mind Your system is perfectly designed to give you the outcome you've obtained.

100

If they've gone silent on you,

101

you've been doing something to contribute to them going silent on you.

102

You've probably been explaining.

103

You've probably been pitching.

104

You've probably been educating.

105

I'm going to stop all these things.

106

Restart the conversation with this one-shot restart.

107

and then your very next move is you've got to get a TR out of them.

108

What's a TR?

109

That's right.

110

How do you get a TR?

111

How do you get a that's right?

112

You've got to summarize their perspective,

113

particularly their reservations, their reasons for not doing it,

114

what they're up against, the difficulty of what they might be facing,

115

and then go dead silent.

116

You do not go, but here's why those aren't good reasons.

117

You got to go dead silent and get a that's right out of them.

118

If you can't get a that's right out of them at that point,

119

you've got to say, it sounds like I've left something out.

120

That's a bonus response for you to use here,

121

which is not on our top 10 list,

122

but helps you get farther in your conversations.

123

Number five, and we're going to get into the category here with letting out know a little at a time.

124

A person that I consider a good friend and I'm really impressed with,

125

Ned Coletti, former GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

126

We were sitting around talking about negotiation one time.

127

Ned is a phenomenal negotiator,

128

and he told me the phrase,

129

I like to let out know a little at a time.

130

This is a great attitude.

131

You do not want to let people get blindsided by you

132

suddenly saying no. You've got to let it out a little at a time.

133

And the first way of letting out no a little at

134

a time in a highly collaborative way is how am I supposed to do that?

135

Now many of you know this is one of the most famous lines with the Black Swan Method

136

and it's pretty much the opening story in the book Never Split the Difference.

137

How am I supposed to do that?

138

And we originally conceived of this as a way to passively say no,

139

even passively aggressively against the throat-cutting negotiators that are really trying to kick your backside.

140

And what it is in many other ways is it's an implementation question.

141

How questions are about implementation.

142

It's designed to let the other side realize that there's some implementation issues here.

143

This also falls in the category of what Brandon Voss has labeled forced empathy.

144

It forces the other side to take a good,

145

empathic look at your situation.

146

We use empathy because it works,

147

and we use empathy because we want to get it in return.

148

you're going to use empathy because it works

149

and you're going to use empathy because you want it in return

150

and how am I supposed to do that is a great starting point for that.

151

Now what happens if they turn around and say well that's your problem.

152

Will they put it right back on you?

153

Which will happen occasionally.

154

Once had a woman say I used how am I supposed to do

155

that and it didn't work because because they shot back right at me

156

and told me how I was supposed to do that.

157

Well, number one, the fact is it's not that it didn't work.

158

The fact is, is that it's giving you a better,

159

clearer picture of the situation.

160

They throw it right back on you.

161

They're telling you they're not interested in showing you any empathy.

162

That's an interesting clue that maybe you don't want to do business with them.

163

All right, I'm going to give you two ways to subscribe to the Black Swan Group's negotiation newsletter,

164

which is free.

165

It doesn't cost you anything.

166

I had a colleague with the FBI that used to like to say,

167

if it's free, I'll take three.

168

Here's how you subscribe to The Edge.

169

If you're in the United States.

170

If you're not, I'll give you a method right afterwards.

171

Send a text to, the number is 33777.

172

That's 33777.

173

The text message that you send is Black Swan Method,

174

Black Swan Method 233777.

175

It's concise.

176

It's actionable.

177

That's the most important parts of this.

178

Concise and actionable.

179

Comes to your email inbox on Tuesday mornings when you're ready to rock and roll and get after the week.

180

Now, if you're not inside the United States,

181

you see the Black Swan website, the homepage.

182

You go up on the right-hand side here on this menu here, you see blog.

183

Click on that.

184

Bang, you're at the negotiation edge.

185

On the right-hand side right here, subscribe.

186

First name and email, sign up now.

187

There's a ton of free information on this site,

188

on the Black Swan Group website, home.

189

Look at it.

190

Get everything free that we have.

191

If it's free, you should take three.

192

And in the model of letting out no a little at a time,

193

here's the next no that you let out,

194

which is number six on our list.

195

And it is, your offer is very generous.

196

I'm afraid that just doesn't work for me.

197

Now, here's the beauty aspects of this.

198

You mentioned generous.

199

You want to encourage generosity on their part.

200

That's a good thing for you to throw into this statement.

201

Second part, it just doesn't work for me.

202

That removes the problem of external criteria.

203

Now, my academic brothers and sisters like to talk about,

204

well, let's agree on an external criteria.

205

Why should you agree to the external criteria?

206

Maybe the external criteria is okay and appropriate in a neutral situation or in situations other than yours.

207

Well, why should external criteria apply to you?

208

In many cases, it doesn't.

209

You want to remove an agreement on external criteria from the conversation

210

because they're only going to agree to external criteria that works against you.

211

And you don't want to put yourself in that corner.

212

This is a great way to come back with a much stronger no.

213

One of the students in our class at Georgetown said they used that phrase,

214

your offer is very generous,

215

but I'm sorry it just doesn't work for us.

216

And he said the people on the other side of the table looked at each other

217

and then looked back at them and said,

218

you're right, it is high.

219

Now that's an interesting response because you want to have an impact on what you say.

220

What you say and what they hear.

221

You want them to get across in their brain.

222

If stuff doesn't work, there's a pretty good chance it's too high.

223

You don't want them to feel backed into a corner when you're letting out Noah a little at a time.

224

And this is a great way to do that.

225

Don't back people into a corner.

226

they will disagree even when it's not in their interest to disagree.

227

Taking away their autonomy is a bad idea,

228

and that's what happens when you back people into a corner.

229

Now, number seven.

230

This is another counterintuitive response,

231

and you use it for when somebody calls you and says,

232

how are you today?

233

Instead of saying, fine, you know, how are you?

234

Or my back hurts, or it's a wonderful day.

235

When they're calling you and saying, how are you today?

236

What are they really trying to find out?

237

Well, they're really trying to find out,

238

are you in a mental place to talk about what I want to talk about?

239

So here's how you short circuit this conversation in a way that builds rapport,

240

that they appreciate, gathers information,

241

and preserves your most precious commodity and theirs, which is time.

242

It sounds like you've got a place you want to start.

243

They are going to love this.

244

Of course they have a place they want to start.

245

They've thought about it before they called you.

246

Now every now and then somebody's gonna say to you,

247

yeah I do have a place I want to start,

248

but I really want to know how are you today.

249

Cool.

250

Then engage in the conversation and then you can get back to the place they wanted to start.

251

Everybody wins.

252

Number eight, another counterintuitive response.

253

And this is how you should respond to questions when you're asked a question.

254

So the first way to respond to questions and number eight on our list is,

255

what makes you ask?

256

Just like that.

257

Now, when somebody asks you a question,

258

what's more important is the question behind the question.

259

What makes you ask? For two reasons.

260

Number one, most people are not good at asking questions.

261

That question may be a result of a committee decision.

262

You know how good a committee is?

263

Well, let me give you an example.

264

A giraffe is a horse designed by a committee.

265

So committee decision questions are going to be off.

266

Well, number two, what's really driving at what make them ask is far more important than what they actually asked.

267

So you got to find out,

268

and this is not disrespectful.

269

They're going to be happy to tell you.

270

And if they're not, well,

271

that tells you a lot about them, too.

272

And how can you respond if they say, just answer the question?

273

your response is I want to make sure

274

that I answer what you're really asking me I'm just trying

275

to dial in to what you're really after more respect

276

if they don't like respect from you that tells you a lot about them

277

and whether or not you should continue to be in business with them now what happens

278

if it's a middle of the afternoon their decision fatigue they're having trouble coming up with an answer.

279

It's too in-depth.

280

The alternate to great calibrated questions and what makes you ask is a calibrated question.

281

You want to ask an alternative label,

282

an asking label, if you will.

283

And so number nine on our list is the alternative to what makes you ask.

284

And that is, it seems like you have a good reason for asking that.

285

Or it seems like you have a good reason for asking that.

286

I gave you both inflections there.

287

Make sure you shut the front door right after you use that label.

288

What does that mean?

289

Go silent.

290

Count thousands to yourself if you have to.

291

Let them break the silence.

292

You won't get past three.

293

Be prepared to count to ten and wait respectfully.

294

This is a respectful dynamic and respect is one of your best choices.

295

Finally, number 10 on the top 10 list of black swan negotiation bullets.

296

You're going to use this when the other side is failing to perform,

297

when they're not living up to an agreement, what do you say?

298

It seems like you have a reason for not doing and then whatever it is that they didn't do,

299

X, Y, perform, finish the contract,

300

finish the work, call me back.

301

They're going to have a reason.

302

They're probably afraid to tell you

303

This is the best way to re-engage a collaborative approach to whatever the problem is so that they feel safe and respected.

304

Always the keys to a long-term relationship.

305

So these were the 10 most powerful negotiation bullets of the Black Swan Method.

306

Share this video across your network.

307

Share with the people that are on your side.

308

Remember, if you want to go fast, go alone.

309

If you want to go far, go as a team.

310

And let the Black Swan Group continue to help you up-level your negotiation skills.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
