New P1 Learning Training Courses:
'Ask and You Get, Don't and You Won't'
Course Description:
Negotiation, simply defined, is a discussion aimed at reaching an agreement. Not as simple as it sounds, because on both sides of this discussion there are humans involved. All with egos, agendas and motives. The ultimate goal of any negotiation is victory. But, that too is not as simple as it sounds because no matter which side of the negotiating table you happen to be sitting on - buyer or seller - you want to walk away from that table with a big old win under your belt.

The Robinson Report - Different
By:
Kevin Robinson
Robinson Media
