Don’t Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight: How to Counter Seven Negotiating Gambits
- What is “Negotiation”?
- What defines a “Successful Negotiation”?
- What is a Gambit?
- Seven Gambits and their counters
- Negotiating in a Project Context
Overview of the webinar
A “Gambit” is a risky technique used to potentially gain advantage in a situation. Negotiating gambits are actions used by trained negotiators to give them an edge over the untrained population. These ploys take advantage of human cognitive biases, social conventions, and emotions to benefit the skilled negotiator.
This talk reviews seven common gambits used by skilled negotiators to gain advantage in everyday negotiations.
Participants will learn to recognize these gambits and how they are used.
Participants will also learn effective responses to counter or nullify these gambits when they are employed against them.
The intent is not to turn the audience into professional negotiators, but instead to improve their game so that basic “hard ball” tactics are less effective.

Why should you attend?
We all negotiate daily with family, neighbors, co-workers, supervisors, suppliers, customers, and others - yet few people have formal training in the art of negotiating.
When everyone is negotiating in good faith, lack of a formal approach to negotiation is a disadvantage. When facing a skilled negotiator unconstrained by ethics, the consequences can be brutal for the well-intentioned but untrained.
This talk reviews seven common negotiating gambits that most participants will recognize they have unwittingly experienced, why they work, and how they can be countered.
The intent is not to turn the audience into professional negotiators, but instead to inoculate them so that basic “hard ball” tactics are less effective.
