Welcome & What's This Blog All About?

Negotiating Success Is An Agreement By Both Parties
Thanks for dropping by! This blog has one simple purpose: to provide the basic info that most of us need in order to make our lives better. Sorry, there won't be any info on stock picking, weight loss, or where to buy the lowest cost gasoline. Instead we're going to be talking about something just a bit easier to get your hands around: how to improve your negotiating skills.

I'm not someone who negotiated 7x24 everyday and I'm going to guess that you aren't either. However, we do end up doing a lot of by-the-way negotiating every day and every once in awhile we do some really big negotiating: get a job, house, car, raise, get out of jail, etc.

This blog will provide you with the basic skills that you need to practice in order to become better than you all ready are. We'll talk about how to approach the REALLY BIG negotiations and, of course, how to overcome any fears that you might have. If you are a lawyer or do big M&A deals for Fortune 50 companies, I'm afraid that this might not be the right place for you. However, for everyone else -- welcome home, we've been waiting for you to show up.
