In a negotiation it is crucial to have effectively prepared your Solution Away From the Table (SAFT) Why? Select the right answers among those below. It will enable you to make a deal only if the solutions traded at the table are more interesting than the solution away from the table. It will enable you to make a comparison between what seems to be disappointing solutions at the table with the reality you will be faced with when leaving the room without a deal. It will enable you to set discussions with your opposite into motion again by talking about the “what if there was no deal? What will we do?” scenario. It provides the main ingredient for the power balance around the table and will enable you, if you have a comfortable SAFT, to be stronger in your demands at the table because the other negotiator will have to match your expectations. Once effectively prepared, it will enable you to fine-tune and adjust your mandate to the various interests of the stakeholders around the table, thus generating the best possible scenario for a mutually agreed solution even if you do not reach your principal’s expectations.
