Logrolling in negotiations means trading negotiation items that your counterpart cares about more for things that you care about more.<\/strong> Recognize how your priorities differ, and use those differences to make deals that are agreeable for both sides. For example, if you hate driving in traffic, and your partner dislikes cooking, you might agree to cook dinner while your partner agrees to pick up the kids from school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The term \u201clogrolling\u201d is also commonly <a href=\"https:\/\/definitions.uslegal.com\/l\/logrolling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">used in a political sense<\/a> and describes the practice of legislators exchanging votes to ensure the passage of one another\u2019s bills. Like in negotiations, this requires knowing differences in priorities so that legislators can help one another without sacrificing what they personally deem more important. Unlike in negotiations, however, political logrolling is prohibited in many states in the US.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deepak Malhotra and Max H. Bazerman&#8217;s book <em>Negotiation Genius<\/em> shares three steps to create value through logrolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #1: Identify <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-you-curious-about\/\">your interests<\/a>. <\/strong>Since logrolling requires trading between multiple items, you should first make a list of everything you value that the other side may be able to provide (when negotiating the purchase of a home, this could be price, move-in date, inclusion of furniture, and so on). Then, create a scoring system using a common metric, like a number of points out of 100 or a dollar value based on how important each item is to you. This method allows you to compare items more easily and decide whether to accept or reject their offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if the person you\u2019re trying to buy a home from offers to include some furniture in the price of the house (30 points) and lets you move in early (10 points), you might be OK if they don\u2019t renovate their basement ahead of the purchase because you only value that renovation at 20 points.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #2: Identify your counterpart\u2019s underlying interests.<\/strong> Discover their underlying interests by asking yourself <em>why<\/em> your counterpart is making their demands. This can clue you in to what they really want and help you find other ways to satisfy their needs, especially if you find their demands hard to meet. For example, if your counterpart demands a lower price, you might discover that they\u2019re mostly concerned with wasting money on a faulty product. Instead of lowering your price, you might then offer a warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step #3: Discuss multiple issues at a time. <\/strong>To create more opportunities for logrolling, the authors suggest you introduce as many issues as you can into the negotiation. These might include timing, quality, price, contract length, warranties, and so on. Discussing multiple issues at a time helps you identify different priorities you and your counterpart have and allows you to make package offers. For example, if you care more about price and your counterpart cares more about timing, you could ask for a higher price for your product but offer to deliver it sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>How to Identify and Discuss Interests During a Negotiation<\/strong><br><br>According to Malhotra and Bazerman, logrolling requires identifying both your interests and the other side\u2019s interests to find ways for both sides to win. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/getting-to-yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Getting to Yes<\/em><\/a>, Roger Fisher and William Ury also advise a flexible and open-minded approach when figuring out how to reconcile differing interests. They offer additional tips for negotiating with multiple interests and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-brainstorm-effectively\/\">brainstorming<\/a> creative ways to create value. Let\u2019s compare their advice.<br><br>Like Malhotra and Bazerman, the authors of <em>Getting to Yes<\/em> suggest you look for underlying interests rather than focus on specific demands. When identifying your interests, they suggest you consider what <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/getting-to-yes\/element-2#how-to-identify-interests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">basic human needs<\/a> you want to meet, such as the desire for security, control, or recognition. Communicate those needs in detail to explain each offer you make. This allows the other side to understand your interests and contribute to brainstorming ways for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/mutual-gain\/\">mutual gain<\/a>.<br><br>To figure out <em>their<\/em> interests, Fisher and Ury suggest you <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/getting-to-yes\/element-3#separate-inventing-from-deciding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brainstorm <em>with<\/em> them<\/a>. Consider setting up a brainstorming session separate from the negotiation as a time for you and your counterpart to share interests and generate creative options that can meet both of your needs. Try to create many options rather than figure out a single \u201cbest\u201d solution.<br><br>While Malhotra and Bazerman recommend you consider multiple issues <em>during<\/em> the negotiation, Fisher and Ury suggest you <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/getting-to-yes\/element-3#broaden-your-options\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generate more options <em>before<\/em> the negotiation<\/a>. They give four steps to do so: Describe the problem, analyze the problem for potential causes and obstacles to solving it, list various possible strategies, and write down specific actionable steps to solve the problem. This method of thinking allows you to generate many options you can discuss during your negotiation.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s logrolling?
