The One Minute Negotiator uses an engaging business parable to tell the story of a high-level sales professional who learns the value of understanding and executing a simple yet profound approach to negotiations - an approach that can be applied to getting the best loaner car while your cars in the shop, seeking a fair solution after a hotel messes up your reservation, closing a deal to get your product in a big-box retail store, or settling on the price for your new home. There are two primary schools of thought when it comes to negotiation skills. One essentially comes from the Harvard Business School camp, and it's perhaps best described as Thou Shalt Collaborate. This approach teaches that negotiating parties should always work together toward common interests.
