Power Negotiating - Vise, Never Offer To Split the Difference, and Hot Potato
Increase your bottom line with decisive and reactive power negotiating techniques. Learn how to employ the vise by demanding a better offer and suggesting a single, absolute solution.

Confront "hot potatoes," such as insufficient budgets, with unswerving challenge statements. The bottom line is the dollar, not the percentage, and this course will help increase yours.
Pressures of Power Negotiating
