The value of being ready can’t be overstated. Being ready means more than just showing up. It’s about being prepared for every moment that matters. 👉 Ready to listen. 👉 Ready to engage. 👉 Ready for the questions you know will come up. 👉 Ready to say "no." 👉 Ready to offer alternatives. 👉 Ready to manage perception. 👉 Ready for rejection. 👉 Ready to keep pressing forward. Here’s the reality check: You’re probably not as ready as you think. “It’ll be fine” is what people say when they assume they’re ready. “What am I missing?” is what people ask when they actually plan to be ready. Don’t let optimism cloud your preparation. Be ready. #Preparedness #SuccessMindset #SalesStrategy #BeReady

If you've been told that the only thing that matters is product led growth, you've been lied to. At the end of the day, you still need to persuade someone to buy your stuff, negotiate with someone to retain and build value and resolve conflict when conflict arises. A great product helps, but the idea that it sells itself is a lie. You will fail if you can't persuade someone to buy the product you created, negotiate with someone to build value, or resolve conflict. But there's good news: You can fix this with coaching and training.

No one believes the ROI of negotiation training and coaching. When I say the ROI is in the tens of millions or more for enterprise sales or procurement teams it seems outrageous, unrealistic, and embellished. And it makes me look like Dr. Evil. They do one of the following: 1. Rolls their eyes 2. Says: "Be realistic." 3. Give a facial expression of disbelief But the reality is that one single deal where well practiced negotiation skills are implemented, could generate a 20X ROI on training or more. So now when people ask me the ROI, I say that it saves lives, delivers babies, and guides you to the afterlife [because it sounds more realistic]. #NegotiationsCoach #Sales #Procurement #NegotiationSkillsTraining

“It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” — Julius Caesar A heavy quote for a Thursday, right? But it got me thinking… Patience has never been my strong suit. And neither has discomfort. 😂 Yet, the ability to endure pain and sit in discomfort might be the key to success—especially in negotiation. Negotiation often requires patience, even when it’s uncomfortable. Your ability to hold out could be what determines the outcome. I’ve had to learn patience by intentionally putting myself into tough, uncomfortable situations and staying there. Is it fun? Not at all. But it’s one of the best teachers I’ve had—whether in business, life, or health. What uncomfortable situation are you sitting in right now? #NegotiationSkills #PatiencePays #EndureDiscomfort #NegotiationMastery #GrowthMindset

In negotiation, the real issues aren’t always what you see on the surface. You’ve got to dig deeper—unpeel the layers—and understand the emotional needs driving the other person. As Anthony Sarandrea said on the Negotiations Ninja podcast, “Whatever is on the surface—sometimes—is not actually the negotiation that really needs to be taking place.” There are interests on both sides of the table. Your job? Bring those out and make them clear. How do you unpeel the layers to get to the root cause? #RootCause #Negotiations #FlipTheScript #NegotiationsNinja #Sales #Persuasion #Influence https://lnkd.in/g3w_gFRy

Are you asking the right questions? 💭🗣️ It's not just what you ask, but how you ask it. Michael Reddington, CFI highlights that rapid-fire questions can put people on the defensive and weaken your authority. Want to establish expertise? Don’t just ask—illustrate your knowledge first. "Illustrate before you investigate." That’s the key to driving more engaging, successful conversations. How do you approach tough conversations? https://lnkd.in/gj2mgc4y #ExpertiseMatters #EffectiveCommunication #IllustrateBeforeInvestigate

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn We’ve all heard it. But have you really thought about what it means? Let’s flip the script. If you want to increase your value—whether it’s knowledge, wisdom, health, spirituality, or wealth—you need to spend time with people who have more value in those areas. Want to be wealthier? Hang out with wealthier people. Want to be healthier? Surround yourself with healthier people. Want to deepen your faith? Spend time with those who embody it. Here’s the hard truth: to level up, you need to reduce the time you spend with people who aren’t adding value in the areas that matter most to you. It stings. It’s uncomfortable. But it’s the truth. That’s why I created a private WhatsApp group for folks serious about mastering negotiation, communication, and conflict resolution. We’ve got a small, tight-knit group of 30, and now I’m opening it up to Negotiations Ninja podcast listeners and communication pros who are ready to level up. 👇 If you’re ready to bring value and grow, drop a "ninja" below, and let’s chat. https://lnkd.in/gMWv3PMr #NegotiationsNinja #NegotiationsCoach #BusinessCoaching

Even if you're not "feeling" confident for your negotiation, make sure you still show up confident. Confidence is more than a feeling... It's an action. Show up how you want to be perceived. #Confidence #NegotiationsNinja #Sales #Procurement
