Negotiation Tones – Part 2


Yesterday, we talked about three tones from the book that you can use in negotiations:

  1. The Smiling Voice
  2. The Late-Night FM DJ Voice
  3. The Questioning Voice

I gave an example of when you could use the Questioning Voice, but not the others.

The Smiling Voice is a good default voice for negotiations because it is pleasant.

The Late-Night FM DJ voice is good for calming down people, or saying something you don’t want challenged. It’s low, slow, and calm, and often ends on a low pitch.

The Questioning Voice is good if you want to ask a question without giving up the power of a label.

You can listen to an example of each of them in yesterday’s post. This has usually been a podcast, but sometimes I need a break where I’m writing instead.

In the future, it will be whatever seems most effective for you and me.

We will continue this conversation on negotiation tactics on Monday 🙂
