Episode #5 Overview

Don't just skillfully play the negotiating game you are handed; change its underlying design for the better. Negotiation is a mainstay in business as well as in marketing, but marketers aren't faced with the same negotiation exercises as business development or corporate strategy teams. Rather than focus on live negotiation tactics, the savviest and most advanced marketers will shape a majority of the negotiation outside of the actual meeting or series of meetings.

In the fifth episode of The Marketer’s MBA, Evan guides viewers through the stages of multi-party negotiations and the opportunities throughout these stages that marketers can exploit to drive efficient and preferential negotiations.

Tune in and learn about:
- Negotiation fundamentals
- Defining and curating a stakeholder roster for negotiations
- Pre/During/Post best practices for designing an effective negotiation process
- Tactics for negotiating with those in power positions
