Overview

MAKE YOURSELF A "YES" MAGNET

You've finally plucked up the courage to ask for something. The afternoon off. A pay rise. Then comes that crucial moment where you wait with baited breath for the response. It's tense, but it doesn't have to be. You just need to master the art of 'the ask'.

Taking a direct, light-hearted, wholly practical approach, Haider Imam zooms straight in on that moment of truth providing a set of proven tools and techniques for getting to 'yes,' every time. He instils readers with the confidence to ask bigger, more often and even ask for the impossible - and to get it.
