Sequential concessions are like getting extra treats one after another when you do something step by step.
Imagine you're playing a game where you have to jump over three puddles in a row. Each time you successfully jump over a puddle, your mom gives you a sticker. The first puddle, one sticker. The second, another sticker. And the third, yet another sticker. You didn’t get all the stickers at once; you got them one by one, as you completed each step of the game.
This is like sequential concessions, you get something small or simple, and then later, when you do more steps or meet more conditions, you get more things, not all at once, but in order.
How It Works
Think of it like climbing stairs. Each time you reach a new step, you get a little reward. The first step, maybe a cookie. The second step, another cookie. The third step, a bigger treat, like ice cream!
So sequential concessions are small rewards given one after another, helping you keep going until you finish the whole task.
Examples
- A kid asks for one candy, then another, and finally a toy, each request is a concession.
- A person agrees to pay $10 for a shirt, then $20 for a jacket, and eventually buys the whole outfit.
- A company gives up a small discount in exchange for a bigger order.
