Rob Halloway - How do you negotiate with multiple stakeholders?

Season 1, Ep. 7

Rob Halloway (Marketing Director at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Director at Mercedes-Benz World) began forging his negotiation skills in the 90s selling used trucks. Fast forward twenty-five years, and the marketing director is a master of multi-stakeholder negotiations across different European factions. Here he talks to host Mike Lander about finding the highest common denominator for all, the importance of unified, fair pricing, and why listening can be just as valuable a skill as negotiating itself.
