Black Belt Negotiating Skills for Meeting Planners

Did you ever notice that compared to the rest of the world, we Americans tend to be relative poor negotiators. We walk into stores and pay whatever is asked. In other countries they would never consider doing such a crazy thing! Asians and people from other negotiating cultures never pay full price for anything.
