Michael Schatzki

You have worked long and hard to reach agreement. Finally, you think everything has been agreed to and that all you have to do is write it up and sign it. You are blissfully contemplating the hero's welcome that you will receive when you come back to the office with the signed agreement, and you have mentally banked the profits that will result from this deal.

Then suddenly the other party "just happens to remember" some small item that you hadn't resolved. It's not very important, so you agree. Nothing should stand in the way of getting this deal finalized now. Unfortunately, that issue leads the other party to remember several other small issues. You are starting to get a little nervous. You don't want this deal to get away, so of course you give in. While you are waiting for the revisions to be included in the agreement, the other party brings up a few other issues that they also want to discuss with you. And so it goes. You are the victim of the Hovering Pen strategy.

As far as you are concerned, you had a done deal. As far as the other party is concerned, the negotiation is far from over. They are just using your anxiety to get the deal closed in order to extract additional concessions.

Remember what Yogi said, "It's not over till it's over."
