Negotiation Boot Camp: How to Resolve Conflict, Satisfy Customers, and Make Better Deals

by Ed Brodow

Ed Brodow gives readers the opportunity to hone their skills so they can negotiate successfully at work and at home. 

From Library Journal: "Negotiation expert Brodow has put his popular corporate Negotiation Boot Camp seminar into book form, offering a 12-week course (a chapter a week) wherein 'recruits' learn different skills until they can intrepidly tackle the trickiest negotiations. While his building blocks have relevance in the workplace with clients, staff, and management, Brodow's advice, garnered from the streets of his hometown of Brooklyn, NY, and his Fortune 500 clients, proves handy for everyday situations as well. Readers, for instance, will learn about buying a car or negotiating medical fees."

From Reg Nordman, Canadian Sales Consultant:  "Wow! I have read many books on negotiation over the years. This is the one that quickly, succinctly and immediately does the job. Buy it, read it regularly and do not lend it!"

From an Amazon reader: "The best book ever! This book changed how I do business! Ed Brodow gives real life examples of how to save money, time and stress daily. When I run into a brick wall resolving a problem I step back and say, 'How would Ed Brodow solve this?' This book is the best investment you could make!"

From Ritz-Carlton Hotels: "I set as a goal this year to improve my skills with regards to negotiation. Frankly, I was terrified of it! After reading the reviews I picked up a copy of 'Negotiation Boot Camp.' Like so many things in life that lead to breakthroughs, it starts with a change of perspective. Ed makes it so direct, so simple, so clear yet so thorough that you can't help but identify your gaps with solid direction on how to improve them. I began to use it immediately and it got attention from several in the office. I was making better deals and resolving conflict better when things went wrong. I wanted everyone on my team to get this same effect but no one likes getting a reading assignment from the boss. We went one step better. I contracted with Ed to come out and teach the material to my teams. Wow! We are set for a great year! Ed is a great story teller and presents the information in a way that truly sticks with people. I just bought more copies of the book since everyone wants to read it! Negotiation truly is an important life skill. You owe it to yourself to understand it better and practice it in everything you do."

Beating the Success Trap: Negotiating Your Own Path to Success

by Ed Brodow

COVID-19 has altered our universe. As a consequence, many people have begun to reassess the future. Are you one of them? Do you want to make significant changes in your life?

You are not alone. Millions of Americans who have acquired all the right trappings of success—money, fame, status and power—feel they have been cheated. Something is missing from their lives. With insight, humor and self-revelation, negotiation expert Ed Brodow challenges our toxic definition of success and demonstrates that:

• Fame and fortune can lead to addictions and violence.
  
• Getting fired may be the solution to your problems.
  
• Changing careers is good for you.
• The future can be whatever you want it to be.

By absorbing Brodow’s rule-breaking ideas, you will learn the skills for negotiating with—or against—the system to secure the lifestyle you desire.

"A guide to rethinking the meaning of success that may well resonate in these financially difficult times. Brodow's diagnosis of an all-too-common personal dissatisfaction is convincing, and his prescriptions are well grounded in both basic psychology and common sense."

Publishers Weekly

"I highly, highly, highly, highly, (did I say highly? Yep. I'll say it again) HIGHLY, recommend this book. It's mainly about how people spend their lives constructing things they don't want, and don't need, only to cut themselves off from their actual personal selves and dreams. It will wake you up and make you remember who you are and where you want to be."
