The group is divided into four sales teams. Each team’s goal is to buy and sell parts (= products) through smart but fair negotiating. The task of one person from each team is to create a complete shape from these parts. The sales teams come together for three negotiating rounds and try to sell high and buy low. Between negotiating rounds, they meet for team briefings to further develop their strategy and to agree concrete steps. As in a real market, more and more new information comes to light that influences events and needs to be responded to. At the end of the negotiation rounds, the teams give each other feedback. The question is: “How did you experience the contact with the others?” The clever thing here is that the mutual feedback is either debited from or credited to the total team result, just like a “relationship account”. If they have a truthful negotiating style, the team that was initially behind in points could end up winning. Heart Selling is an ingenious tool for anyone who wants to offer first class negotiation and sales training.
