Here are the negotiating tactics of Stephan Jenkins: “He takes a folding chair and then flips it around backward and then puts it uncomfortably close to me, considering we’re in a large room, and sits face-to-face with me, sitting backward in a chair. And he says, ‘Okay, what are we going to do about this rate? We’ve got to get this rate down.’ … I think he imagined that I would have been flustered. He was doing like 101 intimidating negotiating tactics or whatever that he Googled the night before.” You also have to wear leather and arrive on a motorcycle 2 hours late.
