The strategy of Multiple Equivalent Simultaneous Offers involves presenting several equally valuable options to the other party during negotiations. This approach benefits negotiators by creating flexibility and increasing the chances of finding a mutually agreeable solution. By offering multiple options, negotiators show that they are open to compromise, which can build trust and make the negotiation process smoother. It also helps avoid getting stuck on one issue, as the other party can choose from several alternatives that meet their needs. In my experience, using MESOs in a work negotiation helped both parties reach an agreement more quickly because each option was carefully thought out to address different needs, and this made it easier for us to settle on one that worked for both sides.
