  6. BATNA • Realistic, not idealistic • Not static • Stick to it

  7. Example: Car Buying How do you strengthen your BATNA? What makes a dealer’s BATNA stronger?

  8. Car Buying Your AP Dealer’s RP Your RP Dealer’s AP $18,000 $20,000 $22,000 $15,000 Bargaining Zone $19,000=compromise

  9. Example: Job Hunting • Your BATNA • How is it strengthened? • Recruiter’s BATNA • How is it weakened? • How is it strengthened?

  10. Reservation Point • Lowest point you can go • Ex: If BP offered you a job, what would Exxon-Mobile have to offer to match it? • Includes any relevant issues • Determines when you should walk away
