Summary

Alex Kouts (@akouts) is a teacher, adventure technologist, Chief Product Officer of Countable, and -- as you'll soon discover -- quite savvy in negotiation. This is part two of a three-part series. Make sure to check out parts one and three!

  • What we gain by giving the other party the illusion of control over the negotiation and what we can do to nudge them in that direction.
  • And much more...
