What do you do if your negotiation partner's nonverbal cues are misleading?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

In the art of negotiation, you're often told to "read" the other person. But what happens when their nonverbal cues don't align with their words? This can throw you off, leading to confusion and potentially a less favorable outcome. It's important to navigate these situations with care, ensuring you maintain the upper hand without causing conflict or misunderstanding.

1 Recognize Discrepancies

When you notice a discrepancy between verbal and nonverbal communication, don't jump to conclusions. Instead, take a moment to observe further. Are their facial expressions in conflict with their words? Is their body language closed off or inviting? Acknowledging these signs is crucial, but it's also important not to let them dictate your response immediately. Continue to engage and listen actively while you assess whether these nonverbal cues are a pattern or a one-off occurrence.

Seeing and recognizing non-verbal signals is important, but can sometimes be deceptive. How well do you already know the person? Perhaps certain gestures or looks are typical for this person and have nothing to do with the current conversation. For example, I knew a person in a negotiation who always looked past my face instead of into my eyes. I interpreted this as not being a good sign for the rest of the conversation. I later noticed that the person behaved in exactly the same way towards other people, especially when she was nervous. So observe first and then draw your conclusions after a while

2 Clarify Intentions

If you're sensing mixed signals, it's perfectly acceptable to seek clarification. Politely ask questions that encourage your negotiation partner to elaborate on their points. This not only helps you understand their position better but also gives them the opportunity to correct any misinterpretations that may have arisen from their nonverbal communication. It's a subtle way of bringing discrepancies to light without directly confronting them.

3 Maintain Composure

Keep your composure when faced with misleading nonverbal cues. It's essential to control your reactions and emotions, as showing frustration or confusion could weaken your position. Stay focused on the negotiation's objectives, and let your calm demeanor set the tone for the interaction. This approach can also encourage your partner to be more open and consistent in their communication.

4 Adjust Strategies

Adapt your negotiation strategy as needed. If nonverbal cues are consistently misleading, it may be a tactic your partner is using intentionally. In such cases, rely more heavily on the concrete information exchanged and the terms being discussed. Shift the focus to the facts at hand, and be prepared to make adjustments in your approach to keep the negotiation on track.

5 Build Rapport

Building rapport can help align verbal and nonverbal communication. Engage in small talk or find common ground to establish a more relaxed atmosphere. When people feel comfortable, they're less likely to send mixed signals, and their body language becomes more congruent with their speech. This can lead to a more transparent and effective negotiation process.

6 Verify Understanding

Lastly, ensure that you and your negotiation partner are on the same page by summarizing key points and verifying mutual understanding. This not only helps to confirm agreement but also gives both parties a chance to rectify any inconsistencies in communication. It's a constructive way to address potential confusion without directly challenging the authenticity of nonverbal cues.
