Have you ever been in a negotiation and felt like you were just begging to close the deal? Oren Klaff, the master of persuasion and author of Pitch Anything, is back to show us how to take control of high-stakes business conversations. 

We talk about the power of "status" in negotiations and how framing your offer makes all the difference. Oren breaks down the distinction between physical and cognitive status and how to leverage both to your advantage, all while keeping your confidence high and ego in check.

We also discuss how to create real desire in your prospects and clients, as well as how to handle those moments when you're negotiating from a lower status. If you’re looking to up your negotiation game, Oren has some proven persuasion strategies you won’t want to miss.


In This Episode:

- The power of saying the quiet part out loud

- How physical status influences negotiation outcomes

- The danger of offering too many choices in sales

- How to negotiate deals when power shifts

- Establishing genuine desire in your prospects

- Negotiating with high-level decision-makers

- Hot cognition vs cold cognition in persuasion

- Determining a prospect’s viability of closing a deal

- Final thoughts and actionable takeaways

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
