Weapons of Influence- Reciprocation

Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 10

Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 11

Weapons of Influence- Reciprocation

• Reciprocal Concessions– One type of reciprocation

– Our sense of obligation to make a concession to others who have made concessions to us

Page 12: Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 1Negotiating – Persuasion & Influence 1 Persuasion & Influence A Core Leadership Attribute Seminar on Negotiation

Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 12

Weapons of Influence- Reciprocation

• Reciprocal Concessions– E.g., A 1976 study on blood donation

made separate requests to 2 groups• Group 1: started with request for long-term

donation, then conceded to one-time donation

• Group 2: requested one-time donation up front

• Result: great donation in Group 1

Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 14

Weapons of Influence - Commitment and Consistency

• Once a commitment is made, one is more likely to honor it later, even if terms are changed

• We feel the urge to be consistent with what we have already said or done

Page 15: Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 1Negotiating – Persuasion & Influence 1 Persuasion & Influence A Core Leadership Attribute Seminar on Negotiation

Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 15

Weapons of Influence - Commitment and Consistency

• Commitment precedes consistency– When possible, first get a commitment to

the cause; once committed the party will likely respond in a manner that supports the commitment (and cause)

Negotiation – Persuasion & Influence 21

Weapons of Influence - Commitment and Consistency

• Working to change another’s commitment– The more publically a commitment is

made, the harder it is to back away from it– Reframe the discussion to focus on the

issue, not the commitment• Turn the divisive issue into one that is shared• Allow the other to retreat from a stated

position
