Why Spend the Money on a Professional?

After all, anyone can negotiate for himself or herself. Just sit down and talk. Hold your ground and keep hammering. What’s so special?

It’s the bottom of the ninth, the away team’s 25-game winner is still on the mound throwing strikes. And … I don’t believe it … the owner of the home team, down two runs, is sending up his grandson Tommy to bat, in his first major league game. The first pitch is high in the strike zone, but Tommy has bailed out—jumped out of the batter's box to avoid the pitch. The umpire has a few words with him, probably warning him not to leave the batter’s box or he will be automatically out. The next pitch is a curve, low and away, but over the plate for strike two. Tommy stood his ground that time. And we await the third pitch on 2 and 0. We can hear the trash talk up here from the away dugout and its … not very nice. Now the wind-up, the pitch, it’s ….

You need to do the things that a professional does, in this case to do successful deal making:

Act at all times without losing focus, without getting angry or frightened, without becoming distracted, and without provoking the other side to cut off negotiation.
Research both the opposite party and their reps.
Be able to improvise when the unexpected happens and bring things to a successful conclusion.

Will you be prepared for the tricks and tactics of aggressive negotiators without losing your cool?

If you are not ready for all of that, then your money would be well invested hiring a pro.

When there's a Dispute. "Look, I just want to sue the SOB, not have a nice conversation." That is fine, if you do not care about money. To file suit, your trial lawyer will probably want a retainer of $10,000 or $20,000. A negotiated solution is far less expensive.

Filing suit will also harden feelings on the other side and make a compromise more difficult. Also, after spending all that money, time and heartache, no matter how strong you think your case is, you might still lose. Juries don't always see things as parties to the case do. Sometimes the best thing to do is work out a deal to settle the dispute and to have someone on your side working out the deal. Even if there is mediation, you need a negotiating attorney knowledgeable about both the law and the process on your side.

Isn't negotiation just giving in? Some people seem to think so. But if your goal is to make a deal, and not have the other side just pick up their papers and leave the table, they must believe you are there to listen, not just pound the table and insist on your position. And sometimes the other side comes up with a reasonable idea. The Negotiation Pro is an expert at gaining the trust of the other side without just giving in.

Over A Third of
A Million Dollars for Client

Scenario: A software engineer joined a start-up company, agreeing to take stock shares instead of a large salary ($225K in all)--understanding from the owner that there would be in IPO within a few years.

But there was no IPO after almost six years. Rather than pursuing legal action, the engineer hired the Negotiation Pro to solve the problem for him.

Result: The client received a check for over one-third of a million dollars. And, a company representative told Negotiation Pro's Phil Marcus that they actually increased their settlement by $40,000 over their "absolute maximum offer" as a direct result of his negotiation skills.

A consultant got a letter from a collection agency demanding almost $6,000 rent for an office he had to abandon when the economy went bad. The Negotiation Pro made a deal which cut the amount down to $1,500, and that included his fee.

Chef Fernando was sued because he had named his new (big investment) restaurant the same as one somewhat nearby with a name registered as a trademark. Another lawyer sent him to me because of my expertise in both trademarks and solving problems by negotiating.

Long story into short: I bargained for him to change to another name he liked and the suit was dismissed. He got out with it all costing him thousands less than with going to court.
