Negotiation is not a luxury for consultants: it's a survival skill. Not only is negotiation the key to obtaining new business, it’s critical to maintaining profitability with your existing clients.
Your most important negotiation is always the first one. Never deliberately make concessions in the first round. If you give away the farm in the beginning, it’s next to impossible to get a better deal the next time around.
It takes a good negotiator to build value and forge a profitable deal. It takes a masterful negotiator to change the dance once the song has begun.
Join us on April 25th for a special three-hour negotiation mastery workshop that will teach you the skills you need for maximizing your profits from both new and existing clients:
Bob Gibson is the founder of Negotiation Resources, based in San Francisco, CA.

Space limited to 80 people.
Registration includes breakfast and negotiation mastery workbook.
