Are you negotiating with someone who can actually say yes?

One of the smartest things you can do before negotiating is determine who truly has the authority to make the decision. A title doesn’t always tell you who has the final say.

Linda shares how asking the right questions early can save time, reduce frustration and help you negotiate with the right person.

Know who decides before you start negotiating the decision.

When you’re busy, it’s easy to say, “I just don’t have time.”

But sometimes negotiating your time means deciding that the work on your desk can wait.

Linda shares a great reminder about making time to show up for others, celebrate their accomplishments and be present for the moments that matter.

Your schedule will always be full. Make sure it’s full of some of the right things.

Sometimes the toughest negotiation is with circumstances you can’t control.

After hours of flight delays and shrinking options, Linda watched frustrated passengers demand answers while she chose a different approach: grab some snacks, talk with customer service, get some work done and stay flexible.

She eventually got the last seat on the last flight and made it to Lubbock in time to speak the next morning.

You may not control the circumstances, but you can negotiate how you respond to them.

What could change if you simply asked?

A bigger opportunity. A better outcome. More confidence. Sometimes the difference between where you are and what you really want starts with one courageous question.

In Ask Outrageously!, Linda Swindling shows you how to stop holding back, get clear about what you want and confidently ASK for it.

Sometimes the hardest part of a vacation is actually taking one. 🌴

Linda admits it took three days in Oahu before she truly slowed down enough to start noticing the rainbows around her.

Her reminder? Negotiate the time to get away, reset and have some fun. Even if your “vacation” is a staycation close to home. That investment in yourself adds value to everyone around you.

What makes a great negotiator? Sometimes it’s not just knowing how to make the deal. It’s knowing how to build partnerships where everyone is invested in each other’s success.

That’s what stood out to Linda at the PacLease System-Wide Sales Summit: high performers committed to their clients, their partners and positive negotiation.

That’s the gold standard.

What would you ask for if you weren’t afraid of hearing no?

In Ask Outrageously!, Linda Swindling shows how having the courage to ask can change the results you get in business, relationships and life. It’s not about being pushy. It’s about getting clear on what you really want, asking with confidence and being willing to take the risk.

Stop settling for what you’re offered. Start asking for what you really want.

Sometimes taking a break when life is at its busiest feels indulgent. It may actually be exactly what you need.

As Linda says, a little time away can lead to a breakthrough or keep you from breaking down. Sometimes you really do have to negotiate the getaway.

Life is easier to negotiate with good people beside you.

After flight cancellations, seven gate changes and eight hours of delays, Linda and Gregg chose to make the best of what they couldn't control. They ate, laughed, problem-solved and eventually made it to Wisconsin.

The reminder? Invest in positive people who listen, laugh with you and help you work through the tough stuff.
