EP 11:Negotiating With More Success and Ease Her Gavel with Stephanie Wachman

I’m sitting down with friend and colleague, Erich Rifenburgh, to talk about the art and skill of negotiation. Erich brings real-world insights from handling negotiations with some of the world’s largest technology companies. He and his sales teams closed hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of deals, and he now works directly with select clients in the area of professional negotiations. I’m so pleased to bring Erich on the podcast to share his negotiation expertise with you.
