Start with No
The Negotiating Tools that the Pros Don't Want You to Know
Jim Camp
The book challenges traditional win-win negotiation strategies, advocating instead for a system where "No" is the starting point, empowering negotiators to maintain their objectives and not compromise out of fear or pressure. It provides a framework for disciplined, systematic negotiation, emphasizing thorough preparation, setting and maintaining boundaries, and focusing on the other party's problems to create valuable solutions.
