New White Paper Helps Negotiators Deal With Know-It-Alls
RIDGEFIELD, Conn. (PRWEB) March 31, 2016 -- Every negotiator has had to deal with a know-it-all who is more interested in showing off his or her knowledge than in moving a business negotiation to a successful outcome. To help negotiators contend with this universal challenge, K&R Negotiations has published “Dealing with Negotiation Know-It-Alls: How to Keep Instructors, Intimidators and Impostors from Derailing Your Deal.”
This complimentary white paper draws on K&R’s decades of negotiation training and consulting on billions of dollars’ worth of deals across the globe. Readers will learn about:
• The three major types of know-it-all — The Instructor, The Intimidator and The Impostor — and the threats they represent to successful negotiations.
• Strategies negotiators can use to mitigate a know-it-all’s negative influence and keep their deal discussions on track.
• Mini-case studies illustrating how the K&R team dealt with situations involving each type of know-it-all.
“Business negotiations often involve exceptionally intelligent people who know — or think they know — a lot. Of course, this has its good and bad side,” said Mladen Kresic, CEO and co-founder of K&R Negotiations. “We offer some proven ways to artfully handle a know-it-all whose influence can jeopardize otherwise successful negotiations.”
