1 Reflect Honestly

After a negotiation falls through, take a step back and conduct a candid self-assessment. Reflect on your strategy, communication style, and the concessions you were willing to make. Were your expectations realistic? Did you understand the other party's needs and constraints? This honest reflection is your first step toward growth, as it helps you identify your negotiation strengths and weaknesses. By acknowledging areas for improvement, you set the stage for targeted skill development.

2 Gather Feedback

Seeking feedback from the other party can be enlightening. Approach them with humility and a genuine desire to learn. Ask specific questions about what they perceived as the sticking points and where they felt the negotiation could have gone smoother. Their perspectives can provide you with an external view of your negotiation approach, highlighting aspects you may have overlooked or misjudged. This feedback is a cornerstone for refining your negotiation tactics.

Recognizing the underlying factors that influenced the negotiation outcome can help you better navigate future interactions. This analysis will also aid in crafting more effective negotiation strategies moving forward.

4 Adjust Strategy

Based on your reflections and feedback, it's time to adjust your negotiation strategy. Identify alternative approaches that could have yielded a better outcome. Consider if different communication methods or a revised set of terms might have changed the game. This strategic adjustment is not about second-guessing but rather about preparing a more adaptable and robust approach for your next negotiation challenge.

Reflecting on past negotiations and feedback, it's evident that adapting the negotiation strategy is crucial. Exploring alternative approaches such as active listening, fostering empathy, and understanding the other party's perspective can lead to better outcomes. Incorporating diverse communication methods like face-to-face meetings, video conferences, or written proposals could enhance clarity and rapport. Additionally, revising terms to find common ground and emphasizing mutual benefits can shift the dynamics positively. This strategic adjustment isn't about doubting past decisions but rather about honing a more flexible and resilient approach for future negotiations.

Sometimes a failed negotiation could be caused by factors beyond your control, such as funding limitation from your client, or missing a specific service cycle etc. If it's a timing issue, don't be too quick to mark it as a "failed" attempt. Diarise to check in with the client after a time period (obviously be mindful of the gap so that it's not pestering), to see if circumstances have changed. There's no harm in sending a quick hello with a smiling face!
