Success is always well negotiated

In any situation, at any age - nothing we have to prove in life and especially in business as often as negotiation skills. It is neither the fastest nor the greatest who win at the end of the day. It is those who lay the foundation for future success through targeted negotiation and strategic action. Only those who negotiate their deals cleverly get what they want.
