Negotiating Strategies

Four Strategies. One Negotiator.

Wendeen became a successful negotiator in the executive search and leadership coaching industries using four key negotiating strategies:

  1. 1.Operating with the goods
  2. 2.Operating with a marginal edge
  3. 3.Operating with potential based on accurate calculation of risk against rewards
  4. 4.Acting with information after others have declared where they stand

She further sharpened her business and poker negotiations based on her understanding that bluffing is an overrated strategy — and that women can win more by bluffing less.
