Key Takeaways:

“[Q: Are great negotiators born or made?] Everyone can improve their negotiation persuasion skills. Absolutely.“

​

“[Common mistakes people do when negotiating] They mix up compromising with collaborating. Compromising is that – there’s this immediate feel and acceptance of loss, like haggling at a market or something, that you’re immediately compromising and just like they think that’s negotiation, that they give away too many things way too soon.”

“80% of my clients are what I like to call ‘nice, but nervous’. So, so they’re very good at what they do whatever that service might be, or that skill set that they started a business around. But then with negotiation, it’s a bit like having the network or having to do accounts, you’re hoping you can outsource most of it to someone who does a better but negotiation, they really do have to be at the helm.”
