Negotiate with Confidence

Ed Brodow Bio

Ed Brodow is an internationally renowned expert on the art of negotiation. SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt dubbed Ed "The King of Negotiators." Forbes Magazine agreed, ranking Ed as one of the nation's leading dealmakers along with Senator George Mitchell and Citigroup CEO Sanford Weill. Ed's practical, no-nonsense approach to an often-misunderstood subject has helped audiences and readers all over the world to overcome their fears and get what they want in business and in their personal lives.

Ed Brodow's latest book, Negotiation Boot Camp: How to Resolve Conflict, Satisfy Customers, and Make Better Deals (Doubleday), is already being hailed as a classic. His other popular books are Getting A Success Change: How to Be Happy in a World Gone Mad (Amazon Kindle) and Negotiate With Confidence (American Media).

Ed is the creator of Negotiation Boot Camp®, widely recognized as the number one customized negotiating skills seminar in the United States. He also travels internationally as keynote speaker at meetings and conventions. Since 1987, more than 1,000 corporate and association audiences -- plus millions of television viewers -- have enjoyed his charismatic stage presence, infectious humor, and practical ideas. Ed's impressive client list includes Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, The Hartford, Johnson & Johnson, Learjet, Kimberly-Clark, Quest Diagnostics, McDonald's, Cisco Systems, The Gap, Heartland Financial, ConAgra, KPMG, Mobil Oil, Revlon, Starbucks, and the Pentagon.

As a nationally recognized television personality, Ed Brodow has appeared as negotiation guru on ABC News, PBS, Fox News, Inside Edition, Fortune Business Report (New York), and KRON-TV4 (San Francisco). Ed's two-hour PBS special, Negotiate With Confidence, garnered rave reviews. His ideas have been showcased in The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Smart Money, Business Week, Entrepreneur, Men's Health, Cosmopolitan, Professional Speaker, Readers Digest, Forbes, and Selling Power.

For content, Ed draws on more than 20 years of practical experience as Corporate Executive and Negotiator: Marine Corps officer; IBM computer salesman; Litton Industries sales manager; Singer Company corporate negotiator; and president of Pulse Management Corporation, a New York sales consulting firm. Making deals ever since he was a kid in Brooklyn, Ed has negotiated everything from simple sales transactions to complex multi-million dollar agreements.

Ed's riveting platform skills spring from his creative side -- as a professional actor. A veteran member of Screen Actors Guild, he is often recognized from his many starring roles in feature films, made-for-TV movies, a soap opera, and commercials. He won the lead in the European film Jackpot, and appeared opposite Jessica Lange (Frances), Ron Howard (Fire on the Mountain), Christopher Reeve (Love of Life), and other Hollywood luminaries.

"I am the only negotiation expert who has made love to Jessica Lange -- on screen, that is," Ed confides. Clients appreciate the spontaneity, story telling ability, and rapport with the audience that Ed learned in Hollywood.
