Welcome back to the Sales Reinvented podcast! In this episode, I'm joined by globally recognized negotiation expert Mark Raffan, founder of Negotiations Ninja and author of "Nine Secrets to Win Deals and Influence Stakeholders." Mark is known for his straightforward, actionable insights that drive real results. Our conversation unravels the often-misunderstood differences between negotiation strategy and tactics and explores how they can work together to produce winning outcomes in high-stakes deals. Mark shares his tried-and-tested techniques for planning, stakeholder mapping, and using both collaborative and competitive approaches. He also reveals his top negotiation dos and don'ts and provides a great real-world example of turning a stalled deal into a win through smart strategy and tactical moves. To learn more about how to better prepare for complex negotiations and counter aggressive buyer tactics, tune into this episode—it's packed with the kind of practical advice you won't want to miss. Outline of This Episode [05:38] Stay silent after asking a question in negotiations for effective results, wait for the counterparty to respond without interjecting [07:33] Ask for specific returns, avoid open-ended requests, and clarify what happens if your request is denied [12:19] Explore various negotiation strategies and adapt them to each situation for the best outcome [16:26] Take-it-or-leave-it offers are often bluffs to hasten negotiation—respond by exploring flexibility calmly [17:28] Walk away if negotiation needs aren't met; slow down when facing last-minute demands [20:43] Mark's top dos and don'ts in negotiations [24:00] Reviving a stalled $500K deal strategy Negotiation Strategy vs. Tactics Mark sets the stage by making a critical distinction at the start: negotiation strategy is your overarching game plan, while tactics are the specific moves you make to get from point A to point B. Imagine setting sail; your route, preparation, and destination are your strategy, while the course corrections and adjustments you make en route are your tactics. Negotiators often conflate the two, winging it with a handful of tactics and no defined destination. Mark's advice is to know what you want before you even enter the room, or risk negotiating with nothing concrete to ask for or offer. Planning for High-Stakes Deals Mark underscores the vital role of planning in negotiation success: “80% of success is in the prep.” This isn't about just showing up with instincts and hoping for the best—real value is discovered in understanding both your levers and those of every stakeholder involved. Stakeholder mapping and leverage analysis are the bread and butter of Mark's approach. Many sales professionals make the mistake of only engaging with procurement, assuming that price and delivery are the be-all and end-all. In reality, multiple stakeholders shape a deal, and understanding their unique concerns opens new avenues to add value and find leverage. Shockingly, Mark sees less than 20% of negotiators (maybe even less than 10% in sales) invest the necessary effort in planning. Those who skip prep and rely solely on talent or instinct often fail under pressure. Three Game-Changers for Challenging Negotiations When it comes to effective negotiation tactics, Mark shares his top three: Strategic Silence: After posing a question, resist the urge to fill the void. Silence gives the other party space to reveal more information—and sometimes their true position. It's a sign of respect and a tool for deeper discovery. Mark recommends holding your tongue as long as it takes, even if the silence feels uncomfortable. Conditional Giving: Never concede without getting something in return. If someone asks for a discount, don't just agree. Make the concession conditional and specific—“I might be able to do that, if you can X.” Avoid open-ended or vague counteroffers. The “What If I Say No?” Test: To clarify the other side's fallback plan (and your own), gently ask, “What will you do if I say no?” This can unblock negotiations and uncover true deal breakers, bringing clarity to tough conversations. Flexing Between Approaches In complex sales scenarios, Mark recommends reading broadly and flexibly applying lessons drawn from various schools of negotiation thought. Whether it's Harvard's collaborative “win-win,” a competitive strategy, or a hybrid approach, sticking rigidly to one philosophy is a mistake. Use whatever is best suited for the situation that you're in, and be willing to flex. If the situation or negotiation style of the other party changes, so should your approach. The most effective negotiators are those who can pivot between collaboration and competition as needed. Handling Aggressive Buyer Tactics Sales professionals often face aggressive techniques—take-it-or-leave-it ultimatums, last-minute demands (nibbles), or attempts to rush. Mark's advice: don't get flustered or succumb to urgency. Most “take it or leave it” situations are bluffs; calmly acknowledge and probe for flexibility. If a nibble appears just as you're about to close, slow the process down and, if you make a concession, always ask for something in return. Otherwise, you're inviting further nibbles and training buyers to keep pushing limits.

In this episode, we chat with Ali Haji, CEO of American Tungsten Ltd, a listed Canadian exploration company focused on advancing high-grade magnetite mineral properties with its flagship asset, the IMA Mine Project in Idaho. Ali has over 20 years in metals and mining, investment management, and publicly-listed capital markets experience, where he has served a variety of senior leadership roles within the mining industry. Ali discusses the background to American Tungsten, why it's important in today’s industrial and technological landscape, US funding and regulatory controls, and what the company is looking to achieve in the long term KEY TAKEAWAYS The company is primarily focused on the IMA Mine Project in Idaho, which is a past producer of tungsten and aims to bring production back online within 18 months. The mine has a significant historical resource and is located in a strong mining jurisdiction. Tungsten is a critical metal used in various military and industrial applications, including armour, ammunition, aerospace components, and microchips. Its high melting point and strength make it essential in many technologies, highlighting the need for domestic production. The current U.S. administration prioritises critical minerals, including tungsten, which has led to potential benefits for American Tungsten, such as fast-tracked permitting and access to grants and low-interest loans to support production efforts. The leadership team includes individuals with extensive experience in the mining sector and government funding, which positions American Tungsten favourably to navigate regulatory processes and secure necessary funding for development. Key upcoming events for American Tungsten include the release of a 43-101 resource statement, exploration drilling, and a bulk sample to assess metallurgy. These developments are expected to enhance the company's resource profile and expedite the path to production. BEST MOMENTS "Tungsten is the second hardest element on the periodic table, used to strengthen alloys and has a very high melting point at 2500 degrees centigrade." "We believe that at IMA, we can be the fastest to bring tungsten production back online in North America." "The goal is to bring back a lot of the production that was mothballed in 2015 when the Chinese flooded the market with cheap tungsten." "Our path to production is quicker than anybody else in the space. Our resource is well defined with the expectation for it to grow."

We discuss watchmaking in America – specifically what's required to bring watchmaking at scale back to the United States. It's a hot topic these days, particularly as U.S. tariffs, which have been dominating the news, are intended at least in part to bring manufacturing back to the United States. So with that in mind, we thought it would be worth taking a look at what would actually be required to restore the American watch industry. Our guest today is Josh Shapiro, an American independent watchmaker. Based in Los Angeles, and together with a team of watchmakers, engineers and machinists, Josh is bringing watchmaking of the highest level back to the United States. In fact, his latest creation, the Resurgence, is currently the only watch to meet the standard of “made in America” as defined by the United States Federal Trade Commission. For show notes, including links to more information, visit collectivehorology.com/blog. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology, Openwork goes inside the watch industry. You can find us online at collectivehorology.com.

Our fashion choices can change more than just our appearance—they can revive an entire culture of craftsmanship! I sat down with George Kalajian, a fifth-generation artisan with a deep passion for fashion. We talked about New York's once-thriving garment district, and how the rise of fast fashion didn't just change the way we shop—it nearly erased the soul of American-made quality. George shared how our obsession with cheap, fast fashion has led to a loss of skills, artistry, and pride. He shared how what used to be considered standard quality is now labeled “luxury” simply because so few people know how to make things well anymore. But there's hope! Through mentorship programs like Project Golden Bear, George is rebuilding the future of fashion one apprentice at a time. If you care about craftsmanship, sustainability, or simply want to buy better, tune in now. Let's bring heart and integrity back to fashion together!“What is considered to be luxury today is what was just well-made 40 or 50 years ago.” ~ George KalajianIn this Episode:- Introducing George Kalajian- The garment district then and now- The shift to overseas production - The decline of craftsmanship- Reviving artistry in fashion: Project Golden Bear- Challenges of fast fashion and decline in fabric quality- The economic impact of consumer fashion choices - A historical perspective on luxury fashion- Future plans and contact informationAbout George KalajianGeorge Kalajian is a master craftsman and owner of Tom's Sons International Pleating, a family business in New York City's Garment District with over 150 years of heritage.

Reviving vinyl in the digital age sounded impossible until the creation of Record Store Day changed everything.Launched with Metallica at a San Francisco record shop in 2008, it became a global celebration of indie music culture and a blueprint for building real human connections. In this episode, we drop the needle on what marketers can learn from vinyl's resurgence with special guest Robert McCauley, Sr. Director of Content Marketing at Upwork.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from community-driven events, the power of exclusivity, and how to build content strategies that truly resonate.About our guest, Robert McCauleyRobert has 20+ years of experience in content marketing, editorial, and communications. At Upwork, he leads a team of more than two dozen amazing content marketers, customer marketers, and multimedia professionals. (In fact, you can find out more about how awesome they are by checking out this link: https://bit.ly/3PGXNcD.) Robert lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and their high-octane fourth-grader. Ask him about his vinyl collection if you're looking to waste an hour or two.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Record Store Day:Sell the experience, not just the product. Exclusivity and differentiation aren't just nice-to-haves; they're why people line up on Record Store Day. As Robert puts it, “Part of the reason that someone is gonna pay $40 for something that they could, in theory, get for free is because the artists and record labels have done a nice job of selling the exclusivity and the differentiation. And, frankly, understanding their audience.” In B2B marketing, it's a reminder that when you make your audience feel like they're getting something rare and tailored, they'll lean in.Community turns customers into believers. Record Store Day isn't really about what you buy, it's about who you're with. Robert says, “This is where the power of community really comes in. It feels like a celebration of music. It feels like a celebration of vinyl... it feels like an event, a way to connect with people that are passionate about something like you are.” That emotional connection is the secret ingredient. For marketers, if your audience feels seen and connected, your brand becomes more than a service. It becomes a shared story.Go analog to cut through the noise. In a world of constant digital overload, physical media feels almost radical. Robert explains, “Analog physical media can really make an impact. We're all flooded with digital stuff all day, every day... the thing that cuts through that are physical things because they're so far, few and far between nowadays.” For marketers, this is a cue to think tactile because sometimes, the most unforgettable touchpoint isn't a notification, it's something your audience can actually hold.Quotes*“ When done right and in a very strategic way, analog physical media can really make an impact, right? We're all flooded with digital stuff all day, every day. There's the whole joke of you going from kind of your midsize screen to your small screen, to your big screen over the course of the day. And the thing that cuts through that are physical things because they're sort of so far few and far between nowadays.”*“ Record Store Day at the end of the day is really an awesome in-person event. And in-person events, I think, in general, can be really effective for marketers. And again, when they're well thought out and done well. One of the great things about this is that, again, it's about community. It's about doing something that people appreciate and like. It's about feeling very kind of personalized to the things that they're passionate about. And, I think again, it just reinforces the fact that there are great ways of connecting with your customers much more directly and, of course, physically than over email or something. And they have a much stronger impact when you are face to face with someone and they remember your name, or you have a conversation, or you enjoy the coffee, or the excitement in the atmosphere that the event brought you. So I think it's the way that these are run are a good example of how in-person events can and should be run and can really make a difference to marketing efforts.”“ We always, as content marketers and B2B marketers, I think, worry that we have one opportunity to kind of hook our audience. If we don't do it now, if we don't get everything we need, this is gonna pass us by. There's this trust of, ‘Hey, I am confident that over time I'm gonna show you the value of my content in this case, my music, and I'm gonna get hooked.' And that will be rewarded down the line. It's definitely a long-term play, but it is very counter to, I think, a lot of our instincts of squeeze as much as we can as quickly as we can.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Robert McCauley, Sr. Director, Content Marketing at Upwork[01:26] Why Record Store Day?[03:21] Origins of Record Store Day[10:26] The Draw of Vinyl[16:51] Robert's First Record Store Day[20:15] Value of Physical Music in a Digital Age[28:58] B2B Marketing Lessons from Record Store Day[47:43] Upwork's Content Strategy[51:41] Upwork's Recent Content Creation[55:21] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Robert on LinkedInLearn more about UpworkAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Under the new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), credit institutions, financial institutions and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) will be prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts or handling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies, such as Monero and Zcash. “Article 79 of the AMLR establishes strict prohibitions on anonymous accounts [...]. Credit institutions, financial institutions, and crypto-asset service providers are prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts,” according to the AML Handbook, published by European Crypto Initiative (EUCI). The regulation is part of a broader AML framework that includes bank and payment accounts, passbooks and safe-deposit boxes, “crypto-asset accounts allowing anonymisation of transactions,” and “accounts using anonymity-enhancing coins.” Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1919013699873821077 see a CEO with such a historic run again? https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1918490939531657501 in homelessness.

China Reroutes Targeted Goods to Friendly North American Partner to Avoid Tariffs As if on cue, a short article from the Chamber of Shipping notes that cargo from China is being rerouted to avoid tariffs. The destination of the cargo is, CANADA! USCoS – experts caution that prolonged storage costs—estimated at $1,750 per container per week—and limited warehouse capacity could force sellers to offload discounted goods into the Canadian market, potentially disrupting domestic manufacturing. Others warn the strategy is risky and unsustainable, especially if the trade conflict drags into next year's U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement negotiations. (link) This will not end well…. … For Canada.
