Book Reviews

Negotiate Your Worth is a treasure trove of practical advice, expert wisdom and useful self- evaluation activities to help business owners conquer the intimidating task of negotiating the price of their services. The workbook style and ability to amalgamate activities at the end of the book allows the reader to review and really reflect on their progress in building this vital skillset.
Negotiate Your Worth” by Sam Trattles is knowledgeable, helpful and fun. More than words, it is skills oriented and plus you build your own unique customised negotiating tool kit. And with Sam’s extensive background it is all based on proven performance results. No matter what your negotiating skill level is, this has something to offer everyone.
Tapping into the behavioural characteristics of animals has been an effective way to teach life lessons since story-telling begun. From Indigenous creation stories to Aesop’s Fables, the valuable and cautionary tales that can be found in nature resonate. In ‘Negotiate Your Worth’, Sam has brilliantly captured the essence of some of Australia’s unique and iconic wildlife. The traits that have allowed these species to be perfectly adapted to their environment can also be techniques we can employ in strategic discussion and negotiation. Sam explores this in a fun and accurate way, and has taken the time to research each of the species so that the nexus is genuine. Within ‘Negotiate Your Worth’ we come away with a better understanding of ourselves and the inextricable links between humans and the world around us. These links and the shared future between humans and wildlife must be protected. I thank Sam for supporting the work of Taronga through this book.”

Book Reviews

If you’re like most women, negotiation is not on your list of ‘love to’ – but it should be on your list of ‘must do.’ Over the course of their lives, women leave tens of thousands of dollars on the table by not negotiating. This book not only provides solid tools and tips, it also helps you to identify the emotions that may be getting in your way of negotiating with courage and confidence. I learned something from it and I’m sure you will too!
Fantastic guide to negotiating anything in business or life – If you want a fair deal on your salary, a contract with a new client, a house or car, this super practical guide will give you all the negotiating tips you need.
Sam’s approach to negotiation is fresh and it removed the fear around negotiation as it’s something I have to do on almost a daily basis…I wish I had met and worked with her a decade ago – she’s that good!
