Jim Camp, the world s #1 negotiating coach, shows how to release the emotional pressure that s part of any negotiation by using his proven system of safe, decision-based negotiation that enables you to meet all your objectives without needless, wasted compromises or giveaways.
Out of the blue your best customer demands a huge discount or else he takes his business elsewhere.
You think you finally have a buyer for your home, but then at the last minute she demands that you pay for new landscaping of the yard or no deal. There are plenty of other properties for sale, and she says she ll walk.
Your son is having trouble in school, and you have to think about how to deal with his my way or the highway teacher.
When confronted with these and innumerable other day-to-day negotiating challenges at work and in your personal life, most people start to guess about how much they should give up in compromise to make the other side happy ( I ll just meet them halfway, and we can put this problem to bed ).
Jim Camp has a better way for you to negotiate:
"NO."
Saying no is not about being hard-nosed or intransigent. Rather, it stops everyone in their tracks, clears the air, and allows you to get at what the real issues are. It is a proven and an amazingly effective system that avoids unwarranted assumptions, needless compromises, and wild guesses, showing:
How to stop being needy, banishing emotional responses such as I must keep this customer s business or I have to sell this house now, and start focusing on what you can control yourself
Why in a negotiation the two worst things to hear are yes and maybe
How to get to the heart of the issue through the art and science of asking great questions
How to find out who the real decider is and stop negotiating with the unqualified
We live in a compromise- and assumption-based world, but Jim Camp flips conventional wisdom on its head and in the process makes you a more effective negotiator with clients, customers, spouses, kids, neighbors, and coworkers. Through Camp s system you ll find that no is just the start of the negotiation, not the end of it. With it, you ll get everything you want and you ll build solid relationships with those you negotiate with.
