[EP.95] The Art of Transparent Negotiation with Todd Caponi
Description
The Art of Transparent Negotiation with Todd Caponi:
In the world of sales, “negotiation” is often taught using outdated, sleazy and trust breaking tactics.
The truth is, negotiation isn't just about crunching numbers and closing deals.
It's about focusing on the human being behind the prospect, transparency and creating a win-win scenario for both parties.
Enter the legendary Todd Caponi.
In this week’s episode, he’s here to show you the way and reveal how transparency can be your secret weapon, not a vulnerability.
