Summary
We negotiate every single day. Sometimes our negotiations are business-based, but often they’re in situations we don’t even think about – such as with our spouse, or kids. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be a master of the art of negotiation? To be able to reach YOUR solution, but have both sides happy at the end? Join us today as Steven interviews Chris Voss, author of Never Split The Difference, and veteran FBI hostage negotiator. You’ll be leaving with a much greater insight to negotiation, and some real, actionable strategies to get started with!
