    If you are a buyer, the best way to increase your power is to___________.

    • Increase the quantity and quality of your options.

    • Decrease the quantity and quality of your options.

    Correct Answer
    A. Increase the quantity and quality of your options.
    Explanation
    As a buyer, increasing the quantity and quality of your options gives you more choices and bargaining power. Having more options allows you to compare prices, negotiate better deals, and choose the best product or service that meets your needs. Additionally, having high-quality options ensures that you are getting value for your money and reduces the risk of making a poor purchasing decision. By increasing both the quantity and quality of your options, you can effectively increase your power as a buyer.

    Must of us tend to enter our negotiations feeling that we have much more pressure to make a deal than the other side does.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Negotiating often involves a sense of urgency and the desire to reach an agreement. This feeling of pressure is commonly experienced by individuals entering negotiations, as they may believe that they have more at stake or a greater need for a deal than the other party. This perception can influence their approach and willingness to compromise. Therefore, the statement "Must of us tend to enter our negotiations feeling that we have much more pressure to make a deal than the other side does" is true.

    If you are a seller who sells products and services for a living, the best way to increase your power is to _____________.

    • Change the game to become the only game in town in the buyer's eyes.

    • Keep reducing your price until you really stand out.

    Correct Answer
    A. Change the game to become the only game in town in the buyer's eyes.
    Explanation
    By changing the game to become the only game in town in the buyer's eyes, sellers can increase their power. This means creating a unique selling proposition that sets them apart from competitors and positioning themselves as the go-to option for buyers. By offering something different or better than what is currently available in the market, sellers can attract more customers and establish themselves as the dominant player. This strategy allows sellers to gain a competitive advantage and increase their influence and control in the marketplace.

    By asking ourselves this key question prior to any negotiation, we can begin to unlock the door to our perceived power in any negotiation:  "If I've got all this pressure on me, what might be the pressure on the other side?"

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    By asking ourselves the question of what pressure the other side might be facing in a negotiation, we can gain insight into their motivations and potential weaknesses. This allows us to better understand their perspective and adjust our negotiation strategy accordingly. By recognizing that both sides are likely under some form of pressure, we can level the playing field and potentially find common ground for a mutually beneficial agreement. Therefore, the statement "If I've got all this pressure on me, what might be the pressure on the other side?" can indeed help us unlock our perceived power in any negotiation.

It is essentially the best option available to a person if they cannot reach a mutually beneficial agreement with the other party.

    • Reducing the number of buyers interested in buying your product.

    • Increasing the number of buyers interested in buying your product and creating an auction-like environment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Reducing the number of buyers interested in buying your product.
    Explanation
    By reducing the number of buyers interested in buying your product, you create a sense of scarcity and exclusivity. This can increase the perceived value of your product and create a higher demand among the limited number of buyers. Additionally, by reducing the number of buyers, you can focus on providing a higher level of customer service and attention to each individual buyer, further enhancing their experience and increasing your power as a seller.
