Question: Close-Ended
…
Identification
This is when you ask a simple question with a yes-or-no answer. It can be used aggressively to force a decision. It forces us into a deal element that limits the universe of possibilities.
Example
An example is: “Are you or are you not able to take another prisoner in the county jail? Yes or No?”
Solution
To handle this, make a conditional counteroffer: “Yes, if you will allocate the budget dollars by an emergency requisition signed by the warden prior to his arrival.”
