While some people possess a natural flair for convincing others, it is also an art that you can develop with the right mindset and techniques.
The 10 Things I Learned About Negotiations During My Wharton MBA
The document provides a summary of the top 10 things learned about negotiations from a Wharton MBA student. It begins by establishing the student's background and lack of expertise in negotiations prior to taking a class. The top 10 lessons are then outlined, focusing on the importance of preparation, building trust, exchanging information, identifying differences in value to trade, expanding opportunities for joint gain, claiming a fair outcome, understanding one's strengths and weaknesses, sources of power, encouraging women to negotiate more, and maintaining ethics. Mistakes to avoid are also highlighted, such as insufficient preparation and fixation on a single issue. The overall message is that negotiation is a learnable skill requiring discipline and practice.
7 Unique Buyer Types and How to Sell to Them
Not every buyer is the same. Some get sold on one call while others may take few meetings only to deny! Listed here are 7 unique buyer types and how should you formulate your messages for maximum impact.
Negotiation
1. Negotiating is the art of reaching an agreement by resolving differences through creativity. Our ability to negotiate begins from an early age when we interact with others.
2. There are different styles of negotiating - quick style aims for the best deal without regard for the other side, while deliberate style prioritizes relationship building for long-term agreements.
3. The possible outcomes of negotiating are realistic (win-win), acceptable (something is better than nothing), or worst (too stubborn to compromise). Predetermining desired outcomes can help achieve a better result.
Lessons learned - Strategic Negotiations
This document provides lessons learned and best practices for strategic negotiations. It recommends thoroughly preparing beforehand by understanding your own and your counterpart's strengths, weaknesses, and alternatives. It also suggests assessing relationships and considering coalition structures. During negotiations, the key is to build trust, share information transparently, involve all parties, and frame issues cleverly. Afterward, successful negotiations are measured by results better than alternatives, optimal outcomes for all, effective communication, trust, and maintaining good relationships even if the agreement is only acceptable.
ADR Skills for Judges
1. The goal of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) like mediation is to help disputing parties resolve conflicts earlier than if they continued in court to avoid increased costs and damage to business relationships.
2. Mediation works best when the neutral third party mediator acts as a trusted advisor and helps the parties focus on the underlying business problem rather than legal issues in order to find a mutually agreeable solution.
3. Effective mediation uses various techniques like reality testing, evaluating settlement costs, and addressing parties' interests to help them change perspectives and reach an agreement.

Business partnerships can form between individuals, corporations, LLCs or other entities to combine complementary skills, pool resources, and appear more professional. However, partnerships also require sharing profits and control, and personal relationships may suffer if the partnership ends. Some key considerations before partnering include thoroughly vetting potential partners, testing the working relationship, gradually increasing ownership over time, and having a written agreement detailing control, contributions, distributions, and exit strategies in case the partnership dissolves. Partnering with family or friends requires even more formality and carefully defined buy-out terms to minimize damage to personal relationships.

Takewaways from Steve Sammartino's World of Work
Steve discussed several key points about the changing world of work at a breakfast meeting. He noted that the pace of technological change is accelerating and formal education can no longer keep up, so skills like adaptability and the ability to connect people are becoming more important. Industries now have shorter periods at the top as new technologies disrupt existing models, so continual learning and adapting to change is necessary to survive in this environment.

Collaboration recipe takeaways
The document provides tips for building rapport, collaborating with others, and innovating effectively. It recommends meeting face-to-face to build rapport fastest, listening more than talking, and focusing on quality conversations to find a shared rhythm. It also suggests knowing your team's strengths and goals, communicating clearly, and leveraging existing relationships to stay grounded when innovating.
The Collaboration Recipe - Productive relationships and powerful partnerships
The document discusses key ingredients for successful collaboration and partnerships. It notes that industries are being disrupted from outside sources more than inside innovation. There is a need to collaborate outside one's industry as different perspectives can spark innovation. While corporations, researchers, and entrepreneurs have different strengths, risks, and resources, they also make the same innovation mistakes. The document provides tips for productive collaboration, including getting clear on goals, listening to others, and focusing on quality conversations over quantity. It emphasizes the importance of meeting face-to-face with potential partners through coffee meetings to build relationships and opportunities.
The Risk of Standing Still - presented at CPA Corporate Event, 2015
The document discusses the risks of not innovating and provides advice on managing innovation risks. It notes that staying the same may no longer provide predictable results and organizations should look out for warning signs of disruption from competitors. While innovation carries risks, the document advocates for regular tracking of projects to ensure they are on time, on budget, delivering a return on investment, and managing impacts on staff and customers. Overall it argues that risk should not be seen as inherently negative and that innovation may carry less risk than doing nothing.

Do your homework - 5 questions to assess potential partners and joint ventures
- 1. What are they trying to get done? Don’t talk dollars up front. The first question in partnerships is what are they trying to get done (and how can you help them get there)? Watch and listen Wait and see how they drive the conversation. Are they interested in getting to know you and what your goals are, or do they spend the whole meeting talking about themselves)? Does it fit? Does this partnership fit? Do you have the same target market? Do you share common values? Trust your gut Finally, what does your gut tell you? If your gut tells you something is not quite right, it’s usually time to walk away. What are your commercial arrangements? This is often after multiple conversations. If you’re both still keen to partner, then bring in the financials. Ask 'What are your commercial arrangements?’ - let them show their cards first. 5 questions to assess potential partners & joint ventures Look beyond the legals. Reference checks and legal advice are certainly robust ways to assess a partnership. Before you get the lawyers involved or discuss commercial arrangements, you can do your own vetting using this checklist.
