Simulation of various situations
According to INC.com, tools such as ChatGPT can easily help you practise how to respond and behave in various negotiation scenarios. For instance, you can ask the system to simulate a dissatisfied subordinate with whom you need to reach some agreement, for instance regarding their involvement in a new project while their previous one remains unfinished. Instruct the chat to play the role of the employee and offer arguments they might actually use in the real world. Then respond to these arguments and simulate the dialogue. At the end, you can ask for an analysis of the conversation and suggestions on how your approach could be improved.
Analysis of previous negotiations
Another excellent way to enhance your negotiating abilities is to have ChatGPT analyse a previous situation. You first need to provide context, your own role and the roles of all participants. Then you can write down or dictate how the discussion unfolded, what arguments were presented and your response. You can also use a verbatim automatic transcript of a recorded conversation, providing you have it available and all parties had agreed in advance to the recording. AI can help refine your communication style, suggest more effective negotiation techniques or offer strategies for continuous improvement in this area.
Preparation using data analysis
One of AI’s strongest capabilities lies in data analysis. It is a fact that the better overview you have before entering a negotiation, the more likely you are to reach an acceptable and advantageous agreement. AI can help you prepare thoroughly for your meeting. Input available data and request an analysis, trends or forecasts of future developments. You can then skilfully use this information during the negotiation to achieve the outcome you desire.
