Episode Synopsis

In negotiation, the person with the best intel wins. But here's the catch: most of us walk into the room ready to convince instead of discover. In this episode of Shear Line: Negotiation Mastery, host Eirik Gislason sits down with industry leader Teresa Stephenson to explore the art - and science - of ceaseless curiosity and strategic questioning. Drawing inspiration from Deepak Malhotra and Max Bazerman's profound insight, "Negotiation is an information game. Those who know how to obtain information perform better than those who stick with what they know", we unpack how the best negotiators tip the power balance, build trust, and create more value by asking better questions. If you want to increase your influence, unlock hidden opportunities, and transform the way you negotiate, this episode is packed with insights you can use immediately. Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.
