Putting PEOPLE Back Into Negotiation

I've been working in offices for almost 40 years, and I've seen the business world evolve from manual typewriters to the internet, from hand-shake deals to 100-page contracts and lawyer armies to close deals. The art of negotiation was part of doing business back then, and it's more important now, as our global outreach widens. What Ross Reck has done with this enjoyable, fast-reading book is to remind us that PEOPLE are the important core we might be forgetting about in our fast-paced, electronic world. His four-step PRAM model is one you'll remember easily and it applies to any relationship, not just business. Ross is a dynamic speaker and author who walks his talk. His refined listening and communication skills and genuine passion for helping others come through in everything he does. Through Ross's earlier book, Revved Up and this one, I have gained many insightful tips for dealing with people in a win/win manner. After all, no one likes to lose!

Excellent Business Novel!

I have met Ross and read his book, both are wonderful. The book is written as business novel, perhaps the greatest of all teaching formats. In his book you will learn the principles of successful negotiating using the PRAM model. However this book is not meant to be read, but to practiced.
