rhetoricHow to Update Beliefs with New Info During Negotiations
Holding onto old assumptions kills deals. If you don't adjust your thinking when new signals show up, you'll miss opportunities.
What to do: (1/3)
1. Pause when new information comes in. Don't react right away.
2. Ask yourself what evidence supports changing your current position.
3. Shift your stance slowly, not all at once.
4. Tell the other party about your change openly. This builds trust.
5. Make sure you're both on the same page before moving forward.
Core ideas: Stay curious instead of certain. Update often in small ways. Follow the evidence. (2/3)
Mistakes to avoid: Ignoring warning signs. Doubling down when proven wrong. Not saying out loud that you've changed your mind.
One more thing: Frame belief updates as something you're both figuring out together. Say we're both learning here. It keeps things moving.
