Yes doesn’t always mean yes.

This is why shrewd negotiators don’t aim for yes, but instead try to get their counterparts to say no.

In this installment of our negotiation training series, we examine the top four no-oriented questions™ from The Black Swan Group, what they replace, and why you should use them.~ The Blackswan Group, and Chris Voss

Using ‘No’ questions is not my idea. I have learned it from books and videos. The Blackswan Group has excellent content on this topic. I highly recommend you consume their content if you want to know why it works, and what types of people use it every day for true life-and-death situations.

For this Friday Feature, I am going to give you questions that are useful for those working in K-12 education. These ‘No’ oriented questions will guide you to raises, better positions within your school, and a further increase in benefits.

At the end, I will add an extra bit of advice on how to get hotel upgrades-that I have been highly successful with around the world. Here is an example of valuable Bonus Content:

Free Spa Access or Discounts

Is it completely out of the question to check if spa access is complimentary?

This one post will help you gain 10X over an annual subscription, and that’s if you are really bad at asking ‘No’ oriented questions.
