How To Negotiate: Persuade Using The Power of Influence and Conversation Skills to Increase Your Confidence in Negotiation - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Do you ever feel like negotiation is reserved for slick-talking lawyers in expensive suits, hostage negotiators with sunglasses, or that one guy at the flea market who can buy a Rolex for the price of a sandwich? Think again.

Negotiation is not just for boardrooms. It’s for bedrooms, break rooms, and broom closets. From asking for a raise, to convincing your partner to finally watch your Netflix pick, to persuading your toddler that broccoli is not a weapon—you are negotiating every day. The question is: are you winning?

This practical, actionable guide will turn you into the person people can’t say no to (in the nicest possible way). Packed with stories of negotiation wins, fails, and lessons, Natasha Baker and James Fisher crack open the vault of persuasion skills so you can:

• Stop leaving money on the table: Learn the proven methods for asking for a raise without breaking into a nervous sweat.
• Upgrade your persuasion powers: From Cialdini’s Six Principles of Influence to sneaky but ethical language hacks, discover how to get people to say “yes” before they realize it.
• Master body language Jedi tricks: Decode crossed arms, fake smiles, and shifty glances like Sherlock Holmes at a poker table.
• Negotiate without fear: Whether it’s with your boss, your spouse, your child, or that grumpy man selling used cars—walk away with confidence (and maybe even the car).
• Boost confidence you didn’t know you had: Good negotiators are made, not born, and this book is your blueprint.

You’ll learn how to prepare like a pro, avoid the five negotiation sins (yes, talking too much is one), and even harness the dark arts of silence (spoiler: it terrifies people). You’ll discover why women negotiate differently than men (and how to flip the script), why toddlers are the most ruthless negotiators alive, and why a free mint can be more powerful than a lawyer.

And the best part? It’s fun. No dry lectures. Just laugh-out-loud anecdotes, hard-earned wisdom, and step-by-step strategies you can use the same day.

What makes this book different?

Most negotiation books pretend you’re a CEO hammering out billion-dollar mergers. This one knows you’re also negotiating pizza toppings, job titles, and whether you can buy that ridiculously overpriced couch. It’s practical, relatable, and written by real people who’ve been in the trenches, fought the battles, and lived to tell the tales—with their raises, respect, and sanity intact.
