David Rouse

Mayer is a partner in a Los Angeles law firm specializing in entertainment law. He has negotiated for actors, authors, and athletes, in addition to corporate clients. Drawing on his experience "doing deals," he offers his "secrets" here. To make certain we are "finessed" and "persuaded" into buying this book, he has included tricks of the trade learned from interviews with Middle Eastern and Asian street-bazaar merchants. The key to getting one's way, argues Mayer, is to be "a problem solver who seeks hard-bargain results while using a soft touch." More than half of Mayer's book is devoted to his "dealmaker's playbook," step-by-step tips, tricks, and tactics for 36 different negotiating situations--including a cohabitation agreement, buying jewelry, settling an insurance claim, and arranging for a cruise.
