helpful and informative

This book reveals how vital negotiation is for new business owners. It shows that you'll need to negotiate far more often than you might expect. The author explains that good negotiation isn't just natural talent - it's a skill anyone can learn with practice. After reading, I realized how important it is to negotiate confidently in all areas of business. A great resource for entrepreneurs wanting to improve their skills.

Great Guide for New Founders Tackling Negotiations

I’m a first-time founder, and this book has been a lifesaver in handling negotiations I’d generally feel unprepared for. The advice is practical and to the point, with real examples that prepared me to tackle my deals. It gave me the confidence to negotiate without feeling overwhelmed or out of my depth. This is worth picking up if you’re new to all this and need some clear, realistic strategies.

A useful tool for life in general

This audiobook is a wonderful guide for everyone whether in sales, becoming an entrepreneur, or daily life. You don't realize most of the time that negotiations are part of your daily life because we do it so often, but even in a committed relationship you are always negotiating. I love that the author talks about not always having to "win" at the negotiating table but creating a win-win situation for both parties. This is what negotiation is all about, especially if you have an ongoing relationship with the other business party or just in life. A key takeaway for me was the power of silence. It can do wonders to defuse tense situations or help in your negotiating strategy.

Finding my voice

I am not big on talking to people, and therefore I do not do a good job with negotiations both in my personal and professional life. I want to have better skills and improve my self-esteem, and I was hoping this book will help with all of that. I can say it is helping. I know that all the work on improvment is by me, but this book does an amazing job with the skills and recommendations.

super good audiobook

I listen to this audiobook while driving ever since I bought it and it has been so entertaining and knowledgeable to listen to
