While in a negotiation, get comfortable drawing out the conversation — or even postponing it — if need be, rather than nodding your head in agreement or surrendering with “okay.” You can experiment with being silent for a few seconds to level the power or you can ask questions that open up dialog. These questions deepen conversation and often resemble, “Can you explain how you arrived at that solution?” and “How could I help you feel more comfortable with this request?”
