NEGOTIATION LANGUAGE: SHOWING UNDERSTANDING

Welcome back to the DV, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the break.

This week we are focusing on Negotiation Language. When negotiating, it's common to use this pattern:

1. Show your understanding of a person
2. Show (politely) that you disagree with this person
3. Make a new offer that works for both people

Each day, we will focus on the language needed for this type of conversation. We begin with #1: SHOWING UNDERSTANDING. 

Here are some phrases you can use to show understanding. 

I get / see your point. 
I get / see where you are coming from. 
I appreciate your point / position. 
I know what you mean. 
I hear what you are saying. 

Can you think of some other ways to show understanding? Tell us on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter).
