Ask: How should I approach a person?
• When trying to score a meeting:– Start with deference– Understand motivations,
reservations– Be crystal clear– Offer something in return– Follow-up to nurture– Email, social media,
introductions
• Keep trying, keep hustling

Closure: Negotiations
• What am I optimising for?
– ROI? Sales? Prestige? Optionality?
• Should perception reflect reality?
• Which are the levers for compromise?
• Are we playing a single or multi-stage game?
• Which other stakeholders would I need to involve?
• What is the card in my back pocket?
MOVE THE NEEDLE
