I won this book in a goodreads drawing.
A book that tells you how to negotiate more effectively. Nothing new here, but sometimes, it helps to read the old stuff in a new way.

Whether you are an experienced negotiator or new to the negotiations game, Simon Rycraft's "Negotiations Hacks" offers the tools one needs to prepare and step into a negotiation with confidence. Covering a wide range of topics and referencing a world of fascinating research, Simon managed to stay 'lean' in his writing, distilling the wealth of knowledge and experience in easy to digest, ready to use "Hacks". I was also intrigued by his insights into the emotional aspect of negotiations. Concepts like empathy and likeability are rarely covered in a formal training, yet are critical to your success in any negotiation. I wholeheartedly recommend Simon's "Negotiations Hacks" to those looking to up their game. A must read!

Quick and to the point
I win this book as a Goodreads giveaway. I've read many a business book where the author spent half the book trying to convince me that what I was about to learn was important. Presuming that I bought the book because I already valued the information it might contain, I find these chapters of little value. This book jumped right into the key elements right away which suits my personality perfectly. The hacks described touch the surface and give the reader references to delve deeper if desired. This is a good starter for someone looking for negotiation tactics.

I was lucky in that I not only read the book but also heard Simon speak about negotiation hacks and both experiences were extremely insightful. A group of executive MBA students were enthralled and many subsequently sought him out for more speaking gigs. He lays out the concepts, their history abs significance and impact to a negotiation in an easy to understand and crisp manner. Definitely worth reading!

Negotiation excellence; Hacked!
It’s concise yet informative, interesting and compelling. A simple to read, easy to follow and very pointed description of various ideas and concepts that genuinely work. It’s summarises some of the best theories and philosophies out there and is a great read for anyone in a commercial role or position

Perfect negotiation notes
Quick. To the point. Comprehensive of a lot of negotiation tactics (backed by studies and science).
There were a few things (especially about trust and storytelling) that were explained in a way I haven’t seen before, and led to some “aha!” moments.
Highly recommend for anyone in entrepreneurship, sales, or management. Worth the read.

I rec'd Negotiation Hacks as part of a Kindle giveaway. Much of what Rycraft explains most of us already know. The premise of the book is meet the person where they are; showing empathy towards the other party is key; and know when to walk away.

This didn’t seem as in depth as I had hoped. Compared to some of the other negotiation books this seems to fall a bit flat. That being said, you should expect that when you read a title suggesting that you’re reading hacks.
Overall it was a solid read; worth the time.

Negotiation Hacks does a great job of summarizing key negotiation tactics for practitioners in any area of negotiation. Negotiation Hacks covers non-verbal communication, negotiation theory and style, understanding your counterparty, and planning. I would recommend Negotiation Hacks to anyone!

Not what I expected but interesting.

A very short book tells us about the how-tos of negotiation with minimal examples. Enough methods to give anyone who doesn't know about this topic a try.
