What we can share
We are building a resource library on negotiation skills for site visitors and clients. Below is a small sampling. And, be sure to check back from time to time as more of our work becomes available on-line.

We make these resources available to the general public to enhance an understanding of negotiation skills. No matter how complex the business negotiation scenarios we teach, our negotiation course participants always ask us the same questions:

Can you recommend additional reading or negotiation strategy?
Why should I bother to negotiate?
What are best practices for managing my negotiating team?
How can I conduct effective salary negotiation with my staff?

We hope you find these negotiation resources informative and enlightening.
