Getting More: How You Can Negotiate To Succeed in Work & Life
Wharton Professor Stuart Diamond

Professor Stuart Diamond has taught and advised on negotiation to corporate and government leaders in over 45 countries. His revolutionary process has been used to solve the Hollywood writer’s strike in 2008, to make millions for top companies, and to get four year olds to willingly brush their teeth and go to bed.

Negotiation is a key skill for any business including Performance Marketing. Professor Diamond will discuss specific negotiation skills that will relate to Performance Marketing situations as well as cover the following insights:

•    Address irrationality and emotion in negotiations.
•    Pictures in their heads - more important than facts.
•    To overcome hard bargainers, use their standards.
•    Most people get distracted from goals.

Diamond recently wrote and published the New York Times Bestselling book, Getting More. The book was recommended by the Wall Street Journal FINS blog as the #1 Business Book To Read For Your Career in 2011. There will be limited books given away at Symposium East.
