We Negotiate For You.

Or Help You Negotiate.

For an opportunity. You or your company have a great opportunity to make money , if only you can negotiate a good deal with another company. You are anxious about either scaring them off , or leaving money on the table. Or they have a reputation for being tricky or intimidating, or you are just plain nervous.   Should you hire a professional to negotiate for you?


Why Spend the Money on a Pro?

    After all, anyone can negotiate for himself or herself.  Just sit down and talk.  What’s so special?
    Special is doing the two things that are key to successful deal making.  The first of those is researching the people across the table; that you can probably do yourself pretty well.  But the second and more critical is acting at all times without losing focus, without getting angry, without becoming distracted, and without provoking the other side to cut off negotiation (and deprive you of an opportunity or force a dispute into expensive litigation).
    Will you be prepared for the tricks and tactics of aggressive negotiators—drawn from a catalog of almost two dozen of them? 
    A professional is that because he or she can improvise when the unexpected happens and bring things to a successful conclusion.
    If you are not ready for all of that, then your money will be well invested hiring a pro.

    Your initial  consultation is Free.


 Let’s face it, athletes, entertainers and authors all have agents to negotiate for them. The agents are experienced, and most important having someone in between reduces the anxieties of negotiating. Their clients don’t have to worry about asking for too much and scaring someone off, or the opposite—leaving money on the table. They don’t need to deal with people across the table who bully or just act crazy. They have an agent to worry for them--to advocate for them  at the bargaining table.

You, too, should leave important opportunity negotiations to a pro.

A Dispute. Worrying also is in store for you if you have a business dispute with someone. Your litigation attorney will want $10,000 or $20,000 up front if you go to court. That's true whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant. And after spending all that money and heartache, no matter how strong you think your case is, you might still lose. Usually the best thing to do is work out a deal to settle the dispute. And have someone on your side working out the deal. Even if the dispute is mediated, you need someone knowledgeable about both the law and the process on your side.

The Negotiation Pro will get your deal done for you!  We negotiate:

  • employment and consulting contracts, for company or employee
  • contracts, teaming agreements and subcontracts for companies and consultants
  • financing agreements (and we also assist finding finance)
  • agreements with governmental agencies
  • distribution agreements for manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers
  • whatever business opportunity you want to pursue!
  • dispute resolutions: business disputes, lawsuits and claims

If you are serious about making a deal with an individual, organization, or even a governmental agency—knowing that you usually get just one shot—make  it your best shot. Leave the worry to us. 

What is the Negotiation Pro difference?  A focus on making a deal that works for both sides, so it doesn't come apart later, and a manner that is always informative and polite, but firm.

Finally, remember that agent to agent communication always creates more openness than when principals talk.  It is more likely there will be a deal.

Over A Third of
A Million Dollars for Client

Scenario: A software engineer joins a start-up company, agreeing to take stock shares instead of a large salary ($225K in all)--understanding from the owner that there will be in IPO within a few years.

But there is no IPO after almost six years. Rather than pursuing legal action, the engineer hires the Negotiation Pro to solve the problem for him.

Result: The client received a check for over one-third of a million dollars. And, a company representative told Negotiation Pro's Phil Marcus that they actually increased their settlement by $40,000 over their "absolute maximum offer" as a direct result of his negotiation skills.

Chef Fernando was sued because he had named his new (big investment) restaurant the same as one somewhat nearby with a name registered as a trademark. Another lawyer sent him to me because of my expertise in both trademarks and solving problems by negotiating.

Long story into short: I bargained for him to change to another name he liked and the suit was dismissed. He got out with it all costing him 3/4 less than going to court, even with my fee.


We do not mediate.  We are not neutral.  We advocate for our clients at the bargaining table.
