āI paid $200,000 to learn this in my Wharton MBA, but Iāll teach you for free.ā
This ā¤“ is how Wharton graduate and creator Hannah starts her thumb-stopping Instagram Reel.
Hannahās answer? Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). If you havenāt heard of BATNA, itās your safety net in any negotiation that prevents you from settling for less.
Defining your BATNA is essential to negotiating confidently and clinching the best outcome. And if youāre thinking, āBut Iām not in business school š¤·ā remember (almost) everything in life involves negotiation.
So how does having a BATNA change things? Letās see it in action:
š¼ Job offer ā Letās say youāre negotiating a job offer but the salary is below your expectations. If your BATNA is staying in your current role, having more interviews lined up, or freelance projects, you can hold out for an offer that matches your worth.
š Apartment hunting ā Imagine negotiating rent on a new apartment but the landlord wonāt lower the price. With a BATNAāsuch as other apartment options, renewing your current lease, or finding a roommateāyou avoid settling for an unaffordable deal.
There are a ton of ways to build your BATNA. It could be saving money for financial independence, cultivating self-confidence, and learning in-demand skills (by going to our free Excel class!) to gain leverage in job negotiations.
In every situation, your BATNA gives you the power to walk away from anything that doesnāt meet your standards. Or as Hannah eloquently puts: āA strong BATNA gives you the power to ask for what youāre worth.ā
