One of the Futures Agency’s team members, Clive Rich, has recently released his new book “The Yes Book.”

By breaking negotiation into its three key elements of Attitude, Behaviour and Process, he helps you learn how to shape, create and close deals. You will discover what your negotiating style is, and how you can apply it to influence others and give yourself the edge.

The book has made a solid start - it is currently number 11 in the WH Smith Chart of Best Business Books, and last week reached number 4 in the Amazon Chart of Hot New Business Releases.
