"The Detective mindset is crucial for negotiation success. It focuses on understanding the other party's reservation point rather than being limited by one's own costs."
"Using the S-O-S framework allows negotiators to triangulate the other party's worst possible deal, enabling them to anchor their offers strategically."

Most negotiators focus on their own needs when setting targets, which leads to egocentric bias. Effective negotiation requires understanding the other party's reservation point. The S-O-S framework helps identify the worst possible deal for the other side. Two mindsets are highlighted: The Beggar, who focuses on their own scarcity, and The Detective, who seeks to understand the maximum the other party will pay or the minimum they will accept. Mastery in negotiation involves shifting focus from personal needs to external factors.
