[REPLAY]: Activating the Law of Reciprocity in Your Negotiation Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street

Reciprocity is a social construct that goes back centuries, and it’s so innate in us that it feels like second nature. 
 
It’s also a powerful tool in a negotiation. 
 
When someone gives us something, this built-in need for us to do something for them in return is triggered, and it makes it easier to come to an agreement that satisfies both sides of a negotiation.
