The Role of Confidence and Strategy in Contract Negotiation

The CEO of a Fortune 500 company told me a few months ago, “if we could account for the money we are wasting, it would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.”

By having the above-mentioned factors in place, they secured contracts at millions of dollars above the identified benchmarks.
