In this episode, Armand and Nick break down 8 of the toughest, most painful negotiation battles they’ve ever faced — and the exact moves that helped them win (or lose) those deals. From wild buyer tactics to massive pricing mistakes, you’ll learn how to hold the line and close like a pro.


🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

  • Anchor high, then shut up: Start with a bold number and let the buyer be the first to speak — you’ll often land a better deal than if you start discounting yourself.
  • Always get the “full and final ask: Force buyers to put all their requests on the table at once so they can’t chip away at you with 5K here and 10K there.
  • Flip the polarity by walking away: Instead of acting desperate, suggest the buyer take the competitor’s deal — this creates FOMO and often gets them to come back to you.
  • Never give a discount without a deadline: Tie every concession to a firm timeline or commitment — otherwise, you lose all your leverage and the deal drags forever.
