In one book, Александр Петров has combined the results of many years of practice with a deep understanding of how to reach agreements in the most acute conflicts. At the center is the “Petrov Method”: the author’s system, which includes more than a hundred negotiation strategies, techniques from sales, and special speech modules that allow you to quickly recognize the personality type of your counterpart.
Александр Петров is a recognized specialist in complex negotiations, a practicing mediator and physiognomist, an expert in analysis, assessment, and personnel selection, an entrepreneur, and a business trainer. He regularly speaks at major city events, as well as being a permanent invited expert on TV and radio programs.
In front of you is a rare combination of real experience and a solid theoretical foundation on negotiations under conditions of harsh confrontation. At its core is the “Petrov Method”: a system that brings together over 100 applied dialogue-management scenarios, effective tools for active sales, and speech structures for rapid diagnosis of the opponent. Based on the analysis of more than 4,500 real situations—from family and inheritance conflicts to corporate disputes—the author has created a practical guide to building partner-like interaction, where the outcome is achieved through moving together toward a shared goal. You will see that even where it seems impossible to agree, there remains a chance to bring the conversation back into the realm of dialogue and arrive at mutual benefit.
Step by step, from simple to more complex, the reader moves from the basics of negotiation—to advanced handling of objections and then to specialized strategies for dialogue in open confrontation. The book is designed for a wide range of readers: from mediators and lawyers to anyone who finds themselves in a difficult dispute and wants to resolve it as effectively as possible. It offers not only a set of techniques, but also shapes a constructive view of negotiations, turning a “battle” into a space for meaningful and creative communication.
