Paraphrasing is the negotiation skill that focuses on content. The definition of this skill is very close to what you would find in any dictionary, for you to listen to the literal meaning of what is being said and express it back to your Sugar Daddy in your own words.

It is you rewording the message in a way that carries the same literal meaning. It is not you repeating back to them exactly what they have just said. It helps them feel what they are saying is being understood.

This increases the comfort level and helps with building rapport faster.

It increases the flow of information from them to you.

An example of good paraphrasing would be:

Sugar Daddy: I don’t feel comfortable with providing you the full amount. We just met and getting to know each other.

You: “Oh, I see, with us having just met it’s uncomfortable providing the full amount because of the uncertainty of not knowing if I will be around.

Sugar Daddy: “That’s right.”

Paraphrasing helps to also uncover opportunities with better positioning yourself. From the above example you could now provide different options with making him feel comfortable. Like suggesting twice a month, and then to weekly.

The Sugar Daddy concerns was the trust factor. Think about it. Would you trust someone you just met and on top of that provide them a monthly allowance without really knowing the person. Probably not, right. I know I wouldn’t.

When you address his concerns it will help you with getting what you want. It might not be the full amount but it’s the same amount but just broken up.

When paraphrasing you should do it in relatively short bursts, not waiting until the end of what he has to say. To do this effectively you may actually need to occasionally interrupt your Sugar Daddy to check-in and display to them the meaning of what you are hearing them say.

Some people may find this disconcerting since most interruptions are designed to take over a conversation and stop the other person from speaking. As a result, it may be useful for you to advise your Sugar Daddy that you just want to make sure you are getting things right. Once your Sugar Daddy gets used to it, they will likely find themselves surprised at how much they like being listened to this well.
