Professional Negotiator: How To Ask For More Money - And What To Do When They Say No

Amy Gardiner is a negotiation expert.

All of us negotiate every single day: With our boss. Our partner. Our kids. Buying a house. Selling something. Asking for more money. Even trying to convince your mates where to go for dinner. But most of us hear the word “negotiation” and immediately think confrontation. Amy Gardiner says that’s bullshit.

Amy is a negotiation specialist who has spent decades in sales, real estate and high-pressure negotiations, and she believes negotiating is a skill that anyone can learn. And there is so much practical stuff in this conversation. + How to ask your boss for a pay rise. + What to do when someone simply says no. + Why you should stop deciding how a conversation is going to go before it even starts. + How to work out why someone is resisting you. + And why some of the best negotiations are actually supposed to feel uncomfortable. We also get into relationships, confidence, men versus women, knowing when to walk away, and much more.

This is one of those episodes where you’ll hopefully hear something and immediately be able to implement it in your own day to day life.
