Hey! Sami Miettinen, negotiator.

2
00:00:04.460 --> 00:00:08.280
Let's take this anchoring concept in negotiation as an example.

3
00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:13.260
I'm here on my home turf, in the background is the restaurant Kannas.

4
00:00:13.700 --> 00:00:15.340
You can get a good hunter's cutlet there.

5
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:20.500
The postal code is 00180 Helsinki.

6
00:00:21.220 --> 00:00:24.480
And let's use that information to anchor the price of my apartment.

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.980
Okay, we've made it inside now.

8
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:35.780
In the background, by the way, is a brand-new balcony, this lovely one and a half square meters, absolutely shockingly expensive stuff.

9
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:42.760
But one reason, besides the fact that I can now drink a latte here with my wife in the mornings,

10
00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:50.360
is that it flipped this apartment's square meterage over the hundred-and-four mark.

11
00:00:50.790 --> 00:00:56.400
That has psychological value, so it was worth taking, even though it was a bit expensive.

12
00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:01.580
On top of that, I like using options in negotiations.

13
00:01:01.580 --> 00:01:03.340
It's really important to build options.

14
00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:09.760
If I hadn't taken the balcony now, I would never have gotten it either.

15
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.640
Okay, so let's go and sell this hundred-plus square meters.

16
00:01:15.380 --> 00:01:19.020
So I looked at Reaktor's AI thing.

17
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:27.600
The guys had coded it up sort of as a practice project, where the latest sales are pulled from public data and an average is calculated.

18
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:35.100
Well, it says that right now the fair price would be 7,148.04 euros.

19
00:01:35.660 --> 00:01:37.840
So how do I start anchoring then?

20
00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:40.820
Well, there's a really important rule in anchoring.

21
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:51.280
So I'd sum it up like this. Anchor first, anchor credibly, anchor using a reference price, and don't round.

22
00:01:51.950 --> 00:02:02.700
This has also been studied academically, I talked about this at length with Matti Keloharju, or 'Kelis' as we called him back in our student days, and probably still do.

23
00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:08.039
And he had a lot of great data on this based on the stock markets.

24
00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:11.360
Okay, so let's go and sell.

25
00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:17.580
Hey, here we have just over a hundred square meters, and that makes things easy.

26
00:02:17.820 --> 00:02:23.560
I looked and the average price would be 7,148 euros per square meter.

27
00:02:24.220 --> 00:02:33.700
But when we were talking there, you said it's really important to you that your daughter and son get into a good school and daycare,

28
00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:38.040
well right there you'd have excellent chances of getting into exactly those.

29
00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:42.420
This is the best school in the area, this school district here.

30
00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:45.320
And then you'd get into that daycare too.

31
00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:50.100
And I can actually help you get those applications underway.

32
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:56.780
And here now there's been a pretty major pipe renovation done.

33
00:02:56.900 --> 00:03:00.800
Bought that balcony there and renovated the inside.

34
00:03:00.880 --> 00:03:03.040
Changed, for example, the layout of the rooms.

35
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.920
There's no sense in me leaving this place.

36
00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:13.880
So this could be sold now for 785,000 euros.

37
00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:26.260
So what did I just do there. I used and shared data that the negotiating counterpart can easily verify just by googling it.

38
00:03:26.750 --> 00:03:34.200
And then I created these kinds of synergies, which were also tailored specifically to this buyer.

39
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:37.580
and then I also signaled that I don't have to make this deal.

40
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:43.600
And I threw out that high anchor first, and from there it's much, much easier to go on and negotiate,

41
00:03:44.390 --> 00:03:51.720
than if you were to sit and wait for the buyer's price offer, which then turns out to be some crazy number,

42
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.260
minus ten percent or whatever they come up with.

43
00:03:55.720 --> 00:03:57.920
So that's how this anchoring goes.

44
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.800
This is one topic I'm going to talk about with Petri Roininen, who is the CEO of Investors House,

45
00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:06.980
and chairman of the Finnish Growth Entrepreneurs.

46
00:04:07.940 --> 00:04:10.500
So put your questions to me, hey,

47
00:04:10.940 --> 00:04:13.340
what would you like me to ask Petri,

48
00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:16.000
so we can really get this apartment negotiation

49
00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:18.799
and growth entrepreneurship properly nailed down.

50
00:04:19.900 --> 00:04:22.940
So thanks by the way for the comments so far.

51
00:04:23.260 --> 00:04:25.260
Some have asked for a fun jingle,

52
00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:27.020
meaning music for the start and end there.

53
00:04:27.380 --> 00:04:29.640
That's in the works, and this is all a bit of a practice run.

54
00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:32.200
So thanks for watching,

55
00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:37.520
