That’s a great video if you are offering your services and people know you. Because they recognize you and the services you offer, so in short they are kind of ready to be chopped off a bit more. Now, lets say i am buying a used car and want to get it at a price i want. The moment i low ball that person, the car gets taken by someone else. What would you do in this case? Because the market was open to the car seller. In your case the guy (as usually the case with most companies is, are not ready to do that research and don’t negotiate that much). What tips would you give in such a situation?

@@shairozkhan8560 This guy is giving advice that you can get literally get from a $5 book on negotiation. I really hate these self-help guys. It's so sleazy. To answer your specific question re to a used price, you shouldn't just make an excessive lowball because it will annoy the other person. And, you're wrong about the car being taken by someone else if you lowball. If the seller rejects your offer because there is a higher offer, you can just raise your offer. The seller will always want the higher price. In your particular case, you'll need to figure out what the other buyer's real bid is. The seller might be lying (and most likely will). I can't tell you exactly what I would do because it would be giving away my trade secrets but I can tell you that being persistent while being nice is key. Also, assume that everyone is lying because the guy who lies best wins a lot. Similarly to how the guy in this video convinced you.

"That's not gonna work , can you come up with a better number?" That's so good man !

I literally just did this last week after watching one of these videos to mentally prepare my mind. A client was referred to me and called me up. After I got a general scope of the project I dropped my price first and I dropped it high. He was shocked and didn't think it would be THAT high. I refused to budge and said if this price does not work for him I will happily find him someone that can do the work within his budget. Long story short, he came back to me and said: "I crunched some numbers and I can make this work. Let's work together."

I think this is great as long as we are providing value equal or greater to what they are paying. Just because you can get away charging someone more doesn’t always means it’s the correct thing to do if you’re trying to build a long term relationship.

My CEO does this. When we plan to buy a software license we know usually costs 10,000, he enters the negotiations with “our budget is 5,000”. When he sends me to negotiate, he says the budget is 5,000 and I should say it’s 4,000. This is an additional benefit if you’re the client - usually you can’t just go over budget without significant delays, and involving more people in the decision process - which is bad for the seller since he needs to make a sale and he knows more people involved means more chances for the deal to fail.

reciprocity, one hell of a principle

Sadly this is actually applicable with job searching also. I was asked by a corporate recruiter what is my start point for salary, I told her six figures even though my then current job was half that. She said and I quote... " Oh we don't think we can do that. " I politely said thank you for your time, and ended the conversation. A month later they called me, and said we really worked the budget and want you to come to work for us. They sent me an offer of what I wanted that day. I now have been working there for a year and it's amazing. So this is the take away, you tell them what you are worth and stand by it, they don't know how much you are worth, you know how much. Just saying...

That only works if you have the luxury of having options. Otherwise the employer has all the power in that negotiation to simply withdraw your offer if they're turned off by a number you've volunteered that's too high.

Gold! No long winded explanations, just straight to the point. Thank you!

Dan Ariely and Daniel Kahneman have done some amazing work on the psychology of anchoring. Many companies use it when they create a really expensive (and often not worth it) offer so they can position other offers around this one and make the others look affordable in comparison. Thanks Chris for sharing this and especially with a practical scenario

Thank you Chris Do and to your team! All your videos and your content out there made me realize many things that I want for my future career and also to make the necessary adjustments to get there! Many Schools and employers would like you to develop a "T" model (specialize in only one thing) but since I discover your channel and a book called "Design Currency" I'm more convinced the model that designers and creative people should develop is an "X", hard and soft skills that crossover to offer value and solve real problems...Thanks for being a mentor for a worldwide community

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched on your channel. Clear, concise, insightful. Learned so much in so little time. Thanks so much.

The jewels of insight into the design of business are invaluable. Thanks Chris.

Hey Chris. First things first. I love the new bite sized style content! It's amazing! What I've gathered about anchoring from this video is you need confidence. Don't feel guilty when they say they can't afford you because it ends up in a downwards spiral. I don't even do graphic design but it's applicable in marketing and Law. Cheers and thanks for the value

This is the best I have watched in your channel, you know what you talking about and I have seen everything you say in my dealings with clients. I just drop a number (always high), and I let them deal with it.

Dear God, why haven't I discovered your channel until now 😭 I've decided to binge your videos rather than Netflix. 😊😊 Love you guys!

I usually prefer to hear the other guy's number before I say mine. In my experience, whatever people say their price is, you can either multiply or divide that by 2 and that price will still be acceptable to them. Meaning, whatever a prospective buyer says he wants to pay, he's actually willing to pay twice that; and whatever a prospective seller says he'll sell for, he'll actually sell for half that. It doesn't always work but I am shocked at how often it does. The caveats are 1) I do that analysis with myself before meeting the prospective client, and 2) I periodically evaluate my fees to make sure I am not underselling myself. And 3) if in the negotiation I see no overlap between my price and the other client's price, I just say their price isn't going to work, thank them for their time, and move onto the next opportunity.

This really did work for me. I used to be in sales, so I had a few habits that stuck with me over the years. I just got into business in my industry and had a sit down with my first recurring client. This video popped up in my head when there were some objections that seemed to be cornering me towards the standards of their previous contractor who couldn't deliver. After a bit of hardball.. we've signed the contract under my conditions.

You know I wanted to say thank you Chris as your videos have been gold! I was inspired so much after first coming across you that I finally launched my creative consulting business! This video also helped me decide whether or not I should list my price on my site and after some meditation: I decided that it is best to show my prices. And my reasoning for this is looking at metals. Everyone understands that gold is the most valuable and precious metal and will buy it no matter the price because it is already known and perceived to be rare and valuable; silver is second; brass/bronze is third; and iron is last. I believe that Life has guided and drawn me to you because you are as valuable as gold in what you offer. Thank you again Chris!

How are you blowing my mind right now..... i wasn't ready!!!! master sensei please continue

I did sales in my 20’s for a few places including car sales. This was intuitive as soon as you see how stubborn people are and feel like they are being exploited after saying a number and then deviating from it. Part of the process I used was to avoid them ever making any decisions on numbers because they would mess it up and then maybe be stubborn and we all lose.

This is so true. Most negotiation book advice you to let your client offer first. Only something later in my career I realise the idea of anchoring and how it affect your negotiation. But then later again I realise that there is still an advantage to have them offer first. That when you are confident of your value and worth and is not easily sway by this anchoring tactic. Sometimes you will be surprise that the client may suggest a price way above your own perceived value.

I had a client on the hook who just would not close after nearly closing instantly in our first encounter. I knew he was debating whether someone could do it for less but not saying it. If I had offered to fond someone in my network who could do it for less I think it would have closed the deal or at least opened the line of communication to identify the reservation. That line is gold and I will definitely use it in the future.

Chris playing on statues has become a B-roll staple. Great vid!

Super crisp ... I would agree with the beautyful lady's answer ... I can't afford you Chris! The VALUE you bring to the table is priceless. Can't put a money tag to it. #Anchor is by default at high

Dammit. If I saw this like... a hour earlier. I just literally lost a chance and asked first. Got a small job. Nothing big, the client needed a quick guidance for an add in a magazine to make sure the quality was the best. And I asked the client first. Didn't get an answer yet but it hurts. Thanks for the advise!

Haven’t even finished watching and I’m in love already this is seriously the best channel on this whole planet I love you guys thank you so much (p.s. biggest Chris fan ever)

This new anchor trick, it actually have worked for me in past

Don't abuse this technique. If you have an average skillset. You are replaceable. See if you have an unique skill set this works, not always. Anchoring works well when you have a certain amount of leverage. Otherwise, a person or company with insufficient value will simply have no weight behind that anchor. Especially an 'oldhead'.

I’m so glad this doesn’t have more views, keeping it at the sweet spot.

Love this concept. As the negotiator we need to set the anchor. Great clip Chris.

New Skill Unlocked! Thanks Chris!

Loved the use of footage - that would have ended on the cutting room floor - to end the vid. The anchor high is what I've incorporated into my numbers discussion. Whatever i think they'll pay, i add a few hundred dollars on top. I'm working my way to adding a few thousand dollars on top.

You guys always come at the right time. Keep up the awesome work!

The first one is just wrong and the second one is super common conventional wisdom. Anchoring is basic NLP bull that "gurus" like Tony Robbins have been preaching since they started. Nothing new or special. He omitted that the naming your price first, generally, doesn't put you at any advantage. It does two things, it gives the other person a better sense or a real sense, of what you can as opposed to willing, to give, and it, depending on your timing and delivery of that price, can expose things you don't want exposed, like fear or lack of confidence. Negotiating is a little like playing poker. You're not playing against the other player's hand (literally speaking you shouldn't be trying to guess or assume what the other person's budget is beyond what's reasonable) which is the opposite of what he's teaching actually but may not have realize it, what you should be doing is playing against the other person's performance, reading their body language for example. You need to get a read on where this person might be coming from. Another big reason why you don't want to be first is that you can learn a whole lot from just observing what the person will do and if the person is experienced and smart, the other person will be doing the same. You can get a lot of information from holding fast. If you go first, then you can't see if the person is anxious or being challenged at all. That alone can put you in a power position to raise your price or lower the other person's. If the other person goes second, then the other person is likely to easily to take a cue from you. Oh, you charge THIS much? I don't need to bother in this crowded field, or this might not be worth it. Those are just a couple examples. He was leading people astray there.

For years as a free-lance coder I fell into all of these kinds of traps of negotiation, but these days I just don't play this game at all. I always make sure I decide ahead of time where my absolute bottom line is, and then the only conversation I will have is whether they will agree to it or not. If the other person does not agree on what I want, then my only counter is "You are not the right person for me to work with, thanks for your time". There are plenty more fish in the sea. The only reason we take less than we want is scarcity mindset.

You don't even really need to believe in the value of your work as such, all you really need to know is that working for less than you need for a happy life is actually worse than having no work. When you have no work you have maximum time to hunt for better clients, which is really the most important thing you need to do in that moment. This was also made a lot easier by the realization that the easiest clients to work with are almost always the same ones who are happy to pay what you ask. If someone low-balls me in a negotiation my mind immediately goes straight to "Oh oh, major red flag that this will be a difficult client in many other ways too. Pull out now!"

I wonder this a lot of the time as well when talking with clients. Research/Experience maybe? Sometimes information is embedded in the details of the conversation, and you can glean some insight as to what their budget might be. Other time's it's completely indiscernible as to whether or not they have $100 or $10,000. I feel like it's one of those things where with enough practice you can go "Oh yeah. This is a big company, and they have TONS of money and X budget for most projects like this." or "I've worked with clients like this before, and for this type of project they have X budget.". Independent clients and VERY small businesses are much harder to gauge since there's almost no information regarding financial status usually.

You base it off YOUR cost. What have you made for this type of work before? What do others in a similar industry charge? You don't want to be the guy who undercuts everyone else, and you don't generally want to be the most expensive at what you do, unless you have the quality to back it up. A good guideline is to sit down and honestly come up with your costs per hour/job/day/week etc. Then figure out if you have material cost on top of time, and go from there.

This will definitely work for you in the long run if you have a lot of options. But some people are more desperate and can't afford to be turned down. Also, if you don't sell yourself effectively, people will balk at a high number.
