Sales teams
Stop Discounting. Start Winning.
We train sales teams to hold the line on value, neutralize pressure tactics, and close at better margins — without burning the relationship.
Your reps know the product. The problem is what happens when the buyer pushes back on price, stalls, or brings in procurement.
LEADERS & MANAGERs
Your Team Doesn't Have a Performance Problem. It Has a Communication Problem.
Were your managers trained to have the hard conversations — with underperformers, resistant teams, or senior stakeholders they don't have authority over?
Leaders who complete this training influence up, manage conflict before it escalates, and build the psychological safety that drives real collaboration and problem-solving. The results show up where it matters: higher morale, stronger confidence, and improved productivity.
Every Conversation Is a Negotiation. Win More of Them.
Whether you're closing a deal, working out terms, managing a client relationship, or protecting a commission, the outcome comes down to how well you negotiate.
We work with professionals in high-stakes fields who can't afford to leave value on the table.
Legal, real estate, and business Negotiation
What People Are Saying
“After a recent training, we saw a 28% increase in skills confidence. Several teammates shared it was the best learning experiences they’d ever had at LinkedIn because it spoke to the real need for human-level, empathetic communication. Kwame’s deep understanding of the neuroscience behind communication and emotional intelligence continues to make a lasting impact and it’s why we’re eager to bring him back to our team.
—Arlyne Marella, Senior Global Program Manager - LinkedIn Corporation
“Kwame is, hands down, one of the leading experts on all-things negotiation! He's an absolute A-player, and if you get the opportunity to work with him, you should absolutely take it!”
— Ryan Serhant, Netflix TV Star, Real Estate Mogul and Sales Expert
“The team used several of the negotiation skills learned that very same day which resulted in an increase in our fee percentage with this client which covered the cost of the training!”
- Casey Huston, VIP Recruiting
What 1,800+ Conversations With the World's Top Experts Taught Us About Transforming Your Team
Most training firms sell you their rigid system. We built ours by studying every system.
After 1,800+ episodes hosting Negotiate Anything — the #1 negotiation podcast in the world for nearly a decade — Kwame Christian, the Founder and CEO of the American Negotiation Institute, has interviewed more negotiation, communication, and conflict resolution experts than anyone else alive.

High-stakes crisis negotiators.
He knows where they agree, where they differ, and exactly which strategies hold up when real stakes are on the line.
Kwame is recognized by Forbes, CNBC, and USA Today as one of the world's leading minds in negotiation and high stakes communication. He has closed multi-million dollar contracts himself, navigated complex organizational gridlock, and trained elite teams globally at Google, Apple, Microsoft, and NASA. That combination — practitioner credibility, advanced degrees in law and psychology, plus unmatched exposure to the world's best minds — is something no other training firm can offer.
The result is a modern methodology that isn't beholden to a single, antiquated playbook. It is the best of all of them, filtered through real-world execution, and tailored to what your professionals actually face every day
