116: How to be a Negotiation Ninja - with Mark Raffan

I had the pleasure this week to be joined by master negotiator, Mark Raffan. Mark knows his stuff when it comes to negotiations as he advises some of the top companies in the world on how they can improve their negotiation skills, and he's the founder and host of the world's #1 negotiation podcast, Negotiations Ninja. In particular, we talked about:

How people negotiate themselves out of great opportunitiesWhy it's important to role play prior to a big negotiationHow the military uses "Red Teaming" to prepare, and how you can use it too

As a rookie negotiator, this was an amazing learning experience for me. But what I found, was that many of Mark's tactics are similar to what we coach at Xsellus and with The Perfect DEAL Process. It was great to see another expert in alignment with our methods. Have a listen and see if you agree.
