You might think that every principled negotiation starts out the same  way: with a blank sheet of paper. 

However, in a number of situations  that I’ve found myself in this is not the case. Instead, what has  happened is that for whatever reason because of the negotiation styles  and negotiating techniques being used, my client allowed themselves to get sucked into signing a bad deal.  Now they find themselves living with a deal that is not in their best  interests and they want to have it changed. Enter the (re) negotiator.  

What’s the best way to turn a bad deal into a better deal?
