Negotiation underlies the most successful business and social encounters and when done effectively, it can be the gateway to achieving personal and professional success. While there are some naturally gifted negotiators, the truth is anyone can learn to bargain successfully. With effective training and consistent application of key concepts, individuals can become methodical, confident and purposeful negotiators.
