You are scared
You think you’re not, but you are.
Listen.
Maybe you think you’re fine because you’ve been in the business for years, or because some people around you say you’re good at it, or that title you have makes it seem that way.
But before getting on a call to negotiate or making a sales pitch in a meeting … that fear shows up.
You can feel it in your stomach as your hands begin to sweat…
They can hear it in your voice…
There are very few people truly good at negotiation and sales.
And even fewer opportunities to learn how to overcome that fear that stops us from achieving what we want.
Very few…

This is easy.
I send out a negotiation & sales tip to all my email subscribers every day.
But, my emails are not for everybody. They’re only for those who want to know about things like…
- How to develop a thick skin when dealing with rejection.
- Why a proposal should never aim to convince anyone of anything.
- How to craft messages that stir emotions and prompt them to act.
- Why some sales and negotiation techniques are useless if you don’t first grasp key psychological principles I talk about almost daily.
- When proposing marriage, it’s better to give only one ring, instead of fifty (Or why most bargaining strategies fail).
- The easiest and most effective way to move a client toward a buying mindset.
- How to criticize your offer to a client, have them thank you for it, and still accept it.
- The subtle sales trick that gets your clients chasing you instead of the other way around.
- Why the most selfish thing you can do is let others talk while you simply listen.
- …

I mean, sure, I look good but I’m way less serious than I seem here.
The funny thing is, I actually asked the photographer for something warm and easygoing, something that shows my laid-back vibe.
He seemed to understand me but, clearly, my message didn’t quite land.
Miscommunication like this is a regular thing for me where I live.
And it happens all the time when we’re negotiating or selling.
Actually, in the first email my subscribers recive after signing up I share a story about a misunderstanding with a client I’m pretty sure it has happened to you and still don’t know why.
Last chance to sign up.
See you inside. Or not. Whatever feels right for you.
But remember…
A day you’re away, a tip fades away.
P.S. I don’t write about “win-win” strategies, “YES-seekers,” or sales and negotiaton methods that make you feel smart but deliver zero results in real life. I wouldn’t waste your time or mine.
P.P.S. I write about negotiations where I’ve spectacularly failed, and many others where I’ve used my methods with great success. I also share my learnings and day-to-day experiences as head of International Business for a company that makes millions of CNY every day.
