Everybody negotiates at various points every day, be it in life or business, and it's important to get it right. Negotiating the Sweet Spot walks people of all skill and experience levels through simple and proven techniques that are sure to result in better outcomes for all parties and that uncover the hidden value that exists in any negotiation.
On average, people leave about 20% of potential mutual gains untapped in any negotiation. This is akin to taking 20% of the value in any deal and dumping it into a garbage canister.

You don't have to be a CEO, senior VP, or regional brand manager to learn how to find the sweet spot in life's negotiations.
