Here are seven main points you need to take away from this episode:
- Make sure you go into the meeting with a “PLAN”
- Go into the meeting with a plan of action. What you are willing to give and how much.

- Don’t be afraid of silence in a meeting. Use it to your advantage
- Use specific numbers while negotiating
- Don’t give ranges in numbers when negotiating, offer specific numbers!
- Create the proper setting
- Don’t make the meeting a battle field, go in there with a collaborative mentality.
- Give and Get
- When you consent on a point, make sure you get something in return.
- Speak with the right people
