"At the risk of being terribly informal, Cash Nickerson simply put is the man... It’s through this three hundred-and-sixty degree worldliness Nickerson intellectually applies, juxtaposed with a decidedly simpler house style that solidifies his new book, Negotiation as a Martial Artist: Techniques to Master the Art of Human Exchange, in a league of its own."

About Negotiating as a Martial Art
The reality is that we are always negotiating. The process of bartering, whether it be in billion-dollar transactions or over the use of the family car, is a deeply human activity. Negotiation as a Martial Art reveals hidden insights and teaches profound lessons in the most important and overlooked success tactics for win-win negotiation outcomes.
Classic negotiation is all too often confrontational – a drawn sword battle in a zero-sum game. This classic “us versus them,” “winner-loser” approach creates friction and distrust.
Negotiating as a Martial Art offers warrior wisdom combined with strategic strength.
The result? A negotiation in which both parties find satisfaction and respect.
