  Presented By: Mark D. Grossman 

  A business leader's ability to negotiate is in many ways the most important skill he or she can have.  In this session, negotiator, lawyer, author and frequent speaker on negotiating skills, Mark D. Grossman will give you the benefit of what he learned in his 30 plus years as a negotiator.

  • Listen better during a negotiation and understand why this is your most important negotiating skill

  • Use contingency contracts as a lie detector

  • Use the mere passage of time to your advantage

  • Get the other side to reveal their unspoken agenda

  • Use multiple simultaneous package offerings to discover the other side's real agenda

  • Trade items that are unimportant to you to gain important concessions

  • Strategically use escalations to gain concessions

  • Appreciate the significance of this Grossman-ism – “He who drafts sets the agenda”

  • Use a “lack of authority” strategically

  • Handle people who use bullying as a negotiating tactic

  • Use an important takeaway in team negotiating strategy from Marlon Brando in “The Godfather"
