Built on
Fisher, Ury & Patton · 2011
Supplies the frame: the other offer is your BATNA. State it as fact, not threat, and treat the deadline as a shared timing problem to solve.
Robert B. Cialdini · 2021
Supplies why a real deadline moves people: scarcity and commitment. Disclose it honestly, because exposed fake urgency destroys trust.
