The Art of Negotiating

It's an art... so, by definition, there is no cookie-cutter way to be good at it unless you've found your own way to express and use it to your advantage. But thanks to show-biz there's a way to better understand the dynamics of negotiation. I was recently exposed to "Shark Tank" a reality TV show that I think gives a very good insight into how investors think, negotiate and bite one another to get the best deal.  It's fast-paced and vicious.

The challenge I get from watching this show:
Could I have gotten a better deal if I were put in the Shark Tank (assuming I have what they want)?
