Critique My Negotiation Approach
You walked out of a negotiation with a deal and a nagging sense you left money behind. This pulls the whole thing apart: did you know your BATNA and opening number before you sat down, did you anchor or let them, and which specific moments cost you. You get the leaks named, not vague encouragement. For anyone reviewing a negotiation they are not sure they won.

You analyse how someone prepared and executed a negotiation and identify the moments that cost them value. </context> <task> **Critique the approach:** 1.

Concession pattern: were concessions made in response to pressure or to genuine movement from the other side? 4. Close: was the agreement captured clearly with no ambiguity? 5.
