What they are <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Objective criteria are important indications of the state of the market at that time. While not essential for concluding negotiations, they contribute to enhancing the agreement and achieving a more favorable outcome. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You should only use objective criteria from the third negotiation onwards.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Where to get them<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The objective criteria are hidden throughout the different scenes of Venice. They\u2019re indicated with an exclamation mark (!) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Once you click on the characters or read the information that appears when you click on posters, books, contracts, etc., those objective criteria will appear in the list within your proposal.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that this list will only show the ones you\u2019ve collected so far. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How to add them to my proposal<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

To add objective criteria to your proposal during a negotiation, follow these steps: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click on the “Add objective criterion” button at the bottom. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Choose the objective criterion you want to add to your negotiation. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/pre>\n
    Be careful!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Choose only those that fit the case you\u2019re in. If you provide criteria that have nothing to do with the current negotiation, the character will reject the agreement. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
    <\/pre>\n
    \n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
     
    \n
    Remember<\/strong>: objective criteria give strength to your proposal and help you reach a better agreement. If you don’t mark them, you may be able to close the deal but the <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>feedback<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> may suggest that you repeat the proposal to get a better result.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
