Most negotiations don’t fail because people lack training.

They fail because the negotiation strategy is flawed.

I help leaders and organizations create measurable economic value in negotiations by shifting focus from tactics to structure, value creation, and trust.

Through the SMARTnership™ and NegoEconomics™ frameworks, organizations typically unlock up to 42% additional value in commercial negotiations—without damaging relationships or increasing risk.

What I Do Differently

I founded The SMARTnership™ Negotiation Organization to move negotiations away from confrontation and toward collaboration that delivers measurable results.

Our award-winning model, NegoEconomics™, helps organizations uncover value that traditional negotiations miss—often up to 42% additional value by redesigning how deals are structured, not just how prices are argued.

And yes—those results are guaranteed.

Titles and trophies are not the point.
