What you'll learn

Read what is behind what they are stating

Their real interests, where they will push, whether they are bluffing, and where you can push back.

Go up against someone who does not go easy on you

An AI counterpart built from your own preparation, behaving like the person you are about to face.

Run the same negotiation as many times as you want

Nobody gets a second attempt at a real conversation. Here you get ten, and a scored debrief on each.

Why this topic matters

You can walk in perfectly prepared and still give ground. Knowing what to say is not the same as saying it, out loud, to somebody assertive. That is behavior, and reading about it does not change it. Research published in the Negotiation Journal found that people who practiced against an AI counterpart negotiated better the second time than the first. In this session you watch it happen, live.

Negotiation Professor | NegoAI Founder | 30 Years of Cross-Border Negotiations

For most of my career I prepared the way everyone does. On the plane, the night before, with whatever I could remember about the person I was about to meet. It was never enough.

I have negotiated internationally for 30 years, inside the Fiat Group in the United States, the United Kingdom and France, then running sales across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific for a luxury goods company.

Doctorate in cross-border M&A negotiation. I teach negotiation at Università Cattolica, POLIMI and the Collège des Ingénieurs in Turin.

Since November 2022 I have been building AI negotiation systems and measuring what they do to deals. They are in production now, for buyers and for sellers.

Negotiation expertise built your career. Now it needs a system to carry it.
