Lily:汤姆，我记得你有个弟弟是吧？

Tom:是的。

Lily:他多大了?

Tom:他9了。

Lily:9了？你是想说他9岁是吗？

Tom:是的，我的一个中国朋友说他35了，所以我弟弟9了。

Lily:其实在口语中，回答年龄时，1到10需要加“岁”，10以上可以不加“岁”。比如“我28”或者“我28了”，又或者“我28岁了”，都正确，所以你弟弟多大了？

Tom:嗯～他9了

Lily: Tom, I remember you had a brother, right?

Tom: Yes.

Lily: How old is he?

Tom: He's 9了.

Lily: 9了? Are you trying to say he's 9 years old?

Tom: Yes, a Chinese friend of mine said he was 35le, so my brother is 9了.

Lily: Actually, in spoken language, when answering age, 1 to10 need to add "years old", more than 10 can not  add "years old".For example  I'm 28 or I'm 28了, or I'm 28岁了，All right, so how old is your brother?

Tom: Hmm~ he's 9了

Habit stacking, a concept popularized by James Clear in his book “Atomic Habits,” can be a powerful tool in business negotiations. It involves pairing a new habit with an existing one to create a sequence of behaviors that lead to a desired outcome. With practice, habit stacking can help negotiations become more natural and impactful.

Identify Core Habits: Start by pinpointing habits that are already part of your negotiation routine, such as reviewing key documents like contracts or setting clear meeting agendas in advance of discussions. These foundational habits form the base of your negotiation process.

Stack New Behaviors: Attach new habits that enhance negotiation skills, like practicing active listening techniques or rehearsing persuasive yet empathetic language with a colleague, to these core habits. Layering in complementary behaviors builds negotiation acumen over time.

Create Triggers: Use the completion of one habit as the trigger or cue to smoothly start the next habit in the sequence. For instance, after reviewing all pertinent documents, you might then take 10 minutes to practice delivering your opening pitch out loud.

Maintain Consistency: Repeat this full habit stack sequence consistently, whether daily or weekly, to solidify the new negotiation habits. Performing the behaviors together and over time will make them almost automatic. Over several months, this approach can lead to more effective, impactful and confident negotiations.

By using habit stacking to systematically improve your negotiation techniques, you can achieve better outcomes and build stronger long-term business relationships. With practice, your negotiations will become more natural and impactful.
