MARKS

30 = The caller obtained compliance. Note: It is not enough to obtain compliance by good luck. The caller must have established empathy* and used some negotiation skill or technique learned in the course**,

28 = The caller established empathy* and used a negotiation skill or technique learned in the course**

26 - The caller established empathy*

24 - The caller used a negotiation skill or technique learned in the course**

22 – The caller spoke coherently and maintained contact, but without empathy* and without using any particular technique**.

20 – The caller was inconclusive and not very coherent or the Agent interrupted her/him and hung up.

*Empathy is, technically, “the experience of another's consciousness” (Edith Stein); in practice, it is speaking and acting as if the other person's world was your world. Thus, in the case of the phone call to Australia, it is giving the impression to the Aussie, through what you say and how you say it, that his world is your world.

Note: The idea of “empathy” is close to the idea of “
entente(as used in “Accommodation Theory Revisited”).
Entente is reciprocal understanding plus affinity and warmth; it is the state of
minds in cordial agreement.
Obviously, if two people have empathy for each other, they will attain a state of entente more easily.
But you can have empathy without reaching a state of entente (you can continue to disagree);
and you can have entente without an empathetic relationship (two adversaries who do not understand each other at all, can nonetheless reach a friendly accord on an issue – diplomats call this a
modus vivendi).

If the caller obtains compliance (Mark: 30), s/he has certainly created entente with the Aussie (and empathy).
But if the caller does not obtain compliance, s/he may nonetheless have established empathy (Mark: 26/28).
You hear empathy in the voice: both caller and Aussie talk like friends; they “have a feeling” for each other.

°° negotiation skill or technique learned in the course. These refer to one of the principles explained in “Four Pages” or “Negotiator Pro”. When you wrote your dialog, it was suggested to “tag” your dialog with these principles so that the person correcting your paper will realize that you were using them.
