How to earn more money in a bad economy : Rebroadcast Ep 106
Is it possible to earn more money in a bad economy?
And if so, how?
Dealonomics is the set of skills and guidelines you need to know that will have you selling and negotiating your way to that increase in salary, that promotion, or closing that deal when others say it’s not possible in today’s financial climate.
Kim Meredith, author of “Dealonomics”, explains the concepts together with Leigh Harrison.
[This is a rebroadcast of the episode 106 from October 2013]
