Dealing With Goliath Book

Coming Q1 2024!

In a high-stakes world where every conversation can make or break a deal:

How do you gain trust even in the face of manipulation or anger?
How do you stay dynamic in high pressure situations?
How do you stand your ground and discover new value to add to any deal?

The Psychological Edge in Negotiation for Business Owners answers these pressing questions and more, giving you the competitive advantage in any deal. Many books and courses will tell you to ‘manage your emotions’, ‘don’t get manipulated by the other side’ and to ‘add value’ but they don’t tell you how. This book does.

Blending rich experiences from entrepreneurship to academia, and with hands-on experience across sectors, Alistair McBride carries a visceral understanding of the dynamics and emotions tied to deal-making.

Discover the Dealing with Goliath model – McBride’s framework for rapport, thriving under pressure, and finding hidden value.

Tailored for entrepreneurs, discover techniques beyond winning arguments: defuse tensions, counter manipulations, and close win-win deals.

Learn to stay focused in high stakes through case studies and the Dealing with Goliath process.

Harness the psychological edge in negotiation to refine your strategy, fortify your mindset, and achieve success in your negotiations.

“This book equips entrepreneurs with practical strategies to navigate challenging negotiations. As a seasoned negotiator, I was impressed by the fresh perspective this book provides. A must-read for anyone wanting to sharpen their edge”

— Roger Courtney, Managing Director of Kilcullen Kapital
