HOW eGoC8 WORKS.
Seller sets a price. Buyer makes an offer - any offer.
In a double-blind eGoC8 negotiation, the seller doesn't see the specific dollar figure, only whether the offer is
COOL
BEYOND 20%
WARM
WITHIN 10% - 20%
HOT
WITHIN 5% - 10%
Similarly, the buyer doesn't see the specific dollar figure, only whether the negotiation is Cool, Warm, or Hot.
The negotiation continues, back and forth, until the two parties are within 5%. At that point, eGoC8 splits the difference and informs each party that an agreement has been reached.

WHY DOUBLE-BLIND NEGOTIATION?
It separates the people from the problem.
It strips away the posturing, the truth-bending, the arbitrary lines in the sand.
It uses objective criteria.
In a double-blind eGoC8 negotiation, the process is more inviting, less intimidating. Parties engage more constructively. They reach agreements more frequently.
