Keynote Experiences That Plug Profit Leaks and Transform Your Sales Team from Passive Sellers to Persuasive Negotiators

Tony Perzow, a globally recognized sales negotiation specialist, has trained over 25,000 professionals to close better deals and protect profits. His game-changing insight? Great salespeople don’t automatically make great negotiators. While sales thrives on empathy, negotiation demands a strategic, self-centered approach. Entering a negotiation with a salesperson’s mindset is like bringing a knife to a gunfight—you’re already at a disadvantage.

Tony’s keynotes transform empathetic sellers into confident, profit-saving negotiators. Inspired by the teachings of negotiation pioneer Dr. Chester Karrass, certified in ethical persuasion by Dr. Robert Cialdini, and trained by the head of Stanford’s Behavioral Science Lab, Tony delivers cutting-edge insights and practical strategies that redefine how your team negotiates—and how your business wins.

Unlocking the Secrets to Happiness, Success, and Abundance Through Negotiation Mastery

After years of training over 20,000 professionals in the art of negotiation, a remarkable pattern emerged – a pattern that holds the key to a life of unparalleled happiness, success, and abundance. At the heart of it all is the profound connection between negotiation skills and overall well-being.

You might wonder, how does mastering negotiation translate to a happier and more successful life? It's quite simple, really. Negotiation is the art of getting what you want, and when you can skillfully navigate life's twists and turns, you inevitably open doors to abundance. But there's more to it than that. It's about wanting what you get, cherishing the journey, and finding fulfillment in every facet of your existence. This is where Inner Negotiation comes into play.

Through my extensive experience, I've identified six essential attributes that the world's top negotiators share (seen below.) These attributes hold the secret to their unparalleled happiness and success. The best part? These attributes are within reach for anyone willing to embrace change and put in the work required for personal growth. This is the essence of Inner Negotiation.

My approach to personal development, whether working with individuals or organizations, is holistic. I equip you with the external tools – competitive and collaborative negotiation strategies and techniques – to help you achieve your goals in both business and life, fostering success and abundance.

But the journey doesn't stop there. Inner Negotiation delves into the profound inner world, helping you discover the power to not only get what you want but also genuinely want what you get. It's about nurturing happiness and joy in your life, not just accumulating material wealth.

The bottom line is this: peak performance can only be achieved when there is harmony and alignment between your inner world (your self-concept, beliefs, and values) and your outer world (the practical tools and strategies you employ). This integration is the key to unlocking your full potential and living a life filled with happiness, success, and abundance.

Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey of Inner Negotiation? The path to a richer, more fulfilling life starts here. Join me, and together, we'll bridge the gap between your inner and outer worlds, unlocking the extraordinary life you deserve.

 

The Six Essential Attributes Of Skilled Negotiators

 
Tony Perzow will help you get out of your head

Out Of Their Mind

Successful negotiators acknowledge that relying solely on the intellect is inadequate for decision-making in both business and life. They understand that their bodies and emotions act as a superior GPS system. They have cultivated a strong connection with the nuances of their intuition, learning to trust their hunches even when it defies logical reasoning

 
Tony Perzow will teach you how to find more compassion

Compassionate

Exceptional negotiators often exhibit heightened compassion for both themselves and others. They recognize that assigning blame is not productive, acknowledging that no one is faultless, and everyone bears some responsibility. Understanding that perfection is unattainable, they appreciate that everyone is doing their best, emphasizing the importance of taking responsibility for one's own actions.

Tony Perzow will help bring awareness to who you really are

Aware

World-class negotiators possess a profound self-awareness, understanding themselves thoroughly, and embracing both the positive and negative aspects of their personalities. They are fully conscious of the patterns, belief systems, and behaviors that may disrupt their lives and are committed to the process of healing and personal growth

 
Tony Perzow will help you explore the non-sensical transformation modalities

Non-Sensical

The most adept negotiators embrace a fearless curiosity, delving into concepts that may not align with intellectual or scientific norms. They grasp the vast mysteries of life and the importance of maintaining an open mind, recognizing that there is much that remains unknown. In navigating negotiations and life, they understand the value of embracing the unexplored and acknowledging the limits of current understanding

Authentic

The most skilled negotiators lead lives that are in integrity with their authentic and true selves. They grasp that genuine freedom arises from unapologetically prioritizing their own needs first. These negotiators intentionally and assertively shape their lives in alignment with their desires, steering clear of conforming to others' expectations.

Heart-Centered

The most accomplished negotiators are guided by their hearts, recognizing that love is a fundamental force shaping the world. They purposefully construct lives infused with love, cultivating affection for their work, relationships, and, crucially, for themselves. Understanding the transformative power of love, they navigate negotiations and life with a conscious commitment to fostering a profound sense of connection and compassion.

Let's dive into the process Tony uses to develop individuals and teams into world-class negotiators, starting from the inside and moving outward.

  • Risk Management: Learn to assess and mitigate risks associated with various negotiation scenarios.
