Samenvatting:

Ever had a meeting swerve into fireworks just when the deal was warming up? This fast, funny manual helps founders and GTM teams keep dignity high and temperature low—while still moving numbers in the right direction. Inside you’ll learn the Laugh Buffer that resets tone in ten seconds, the Yes‑If Pivot that turns pushback into progress, and the Three‑Beat Pause that makes you sound wise (and gives everyone room to breathe). Use the Bridge‑Then‑Split to separate people from problems, the Receipt Read‑Back to prove you actually heard them, and the Exit Ramp to end circular chats without burning bridges.

Packed with mini‑scripts, one‑liners, and checklist prompts, this is conflict‑handling without the cortisol spike—especially handy in sales calls, customer support, and internal stand‑offs. Expect lighter rooms, shorter meetings, and friendlier outcomes that still protect margins. Read it, smile, and walk out with both the relationship and the revenue.
