Speaker 2 What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.

Speaker 2 I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be talking about one of the most valuable skills you could develop as an entrepreneur and even a person, okay?

Speaker 2 How to negotiate like a pro and get what you want. So let's be real.
Everything in business is negotiable. Your salary, your contracts, your deals.

Speaker 2 If you want to master the art of negotiation, you'll unlock opportunities others can only dream of, guys. So let's break it down.
First, know your value.

Speaker 2 The biggest mistake people make in negotiating is walking in without confidence. You can't convince someone of your worth if you don't believe in yourself.

Speaker 2 When I first started negotiating deals in merchant services, I learned quickly that if I wasn't clear on the value I was bringing, I couldn't close. So you got to do your homework.

Speaker 2 You got to understand what you're bringing to the table and you got to stand firm. Second, listen more than you talk, guys.
Negotiation isn't about bulldozing the other person.

Speaker 2 It's actually about understanding their needs and aligning them with yours. Pay attention.
Ask questions and find out what they truly care about.

Speaker 2 Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, officialpawalex.com, for more motivational episodes. When you listen, you actually uncover opportunities to create a win-win situation.

Speaker 2 And that's where the magic happens, guys. The best negotiators don't push.
They actually solve problems, problem solvers. And lastly, always be ready to walk away.

Speaker 2 The strongest position in a negotiation is the ability to say no, guys. If the terms don't align with your goals, don't force it, guys.

Speaker 2 Early in my career, I made the mistake of agreeing to bad deals just to close them. And it actually costs me more in the long run.

Speaker 2 So you gotta know your boundaries and don't compromise your vision for short-term gains, guys. What's the bottom line here?

Speaker 2 Negotiating like a pro isn't about the tricks or tactics guys it's about knowing your value listening carefully and having the courage to walk away when necessary you master this and then you'll always get what you deserve guys thanks for tuning into the love of all podcast i'm paul alex reminding you that negotiation isn't a battle guys it's actually a conversation you got to approach it with clarity confidence and strategy and guess what you're gonna win every single time stay sharp stay focused and as always let's level up Thanks for listening up to the Love All Podcast.
