The global economy is a mess. Big business, aided by bad government, has spoilt the party for everyone, yet it is individuals and small companies that are really paying the price. With the depressed state of the economy, companies are not giving much in the way of increases, and vacant positions are not being filled. Existing staff have to work harder for the same, or even less, money. How can individuals, entrepreneurs and small business owners make the best of a bad situation?

There is no reason for 'the little guys' to roll over. Armed with the same expert level of deal making skills as the captains of industry, individuals can substantially improve their personal wealth and financial future. This is dealonomics.

This book will equip everyone with the world-class deal making expertise they need to get the income they want, from those looking for their first job to people wanting increases or promotions, and for corporations looking to improve their profits and retain their top performers.

An essential read for everyone who wants to improve their income or financial position in today's recession-prone world.

Dealmaking is the lifeblood of business – the heart. It is what makes business tick. So why isn't dealmaking the number-one subject taught in business schools? Why do businesspeople have to learn about dealmaking the hard way, through painful and often expensive experiences? Is it because business schools can't let go of their outdated ideas on negotiation and selling? If so, the time has come to change these perceptions so that success and financial rewards can be achieved in every sphere of life. The devil in the deal delivers what it says on the tin: it cunningly reveals the 'secrets' everyone should know about dealmaking in business and ruthlessly exposes the 50 little devils that can break a deal. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to make great deals in the real world, quickly and profitably.
