## Summary

Fifty field-tested strategies for earning agreement — built on credibility that survives the second meeting.

## Synopsis

Influence is often taught as a set of tricks. Alex Stewart argues the opposite: the durable version is slow, legible, and almost boring in its consistency.

Fifty short chapters move from framing and timing to concession structure and the quiet power of naming the other side's constraint out loud.

Each strategy is paired with a real negotiation, including the ones that failed and what the failure taught.

## What you will learn

- Open with the constraint, not the ask
- Structure concessions so each one buys information
- Build credibility that compounds across repeated negotiations
- Recognise and refuse the six manipulative patterns that poison long deals

## Who it is for

- Founders and sales leaders negotiating high-stakes agreements
- Managers who influence without formal authority
- Consultants and advisors selling judgement, not hours
