Critical Step: Go to Your Happy Place

Tactic: Alter Their Perception

“I’m sorry I was going too fast officer.

Thank you for pulling me over.

I needed a reminder to slow down.”

Tactic: The Stupid American

“I’m am so stupid. I should have known there was no parking on the streets in Beaver Creek. I’ve never been here before. I must have missed the signs.”

Tactic: Balance Interests

“I don’t think it’s fair for me to pay late fees becasue there was a

mistake, but I’m willing to pay the outstanding

balance today.”

Tactic: Change the Criteria

“Match the highest salary you have

offered a person of the same caliber for

this position”

WARNING

Do NOT include a number

What about Bullies?

Tactic: Name the Game

“I just want Lucas to be happy. So, if that means you

tearing me apart and making me look like the most horrible person on Earth, then go ahead and

do it....”
