Ask more questions and get more results from negotiations
Negotiation expert Alex Carter, who will host two PCMA Leadership Conference Business School sessions in Houston in January, discussed with Convene a negotiation strategy that works particularly well for women. Author: Michelle Russell Studies show that women are more likely to be rejected, punished, or even lied to during negotiations. In the first of our two-part Q&A with negotiation coach Alex Carter, the upcoming 2025 Leadership Conference host said she doesn't view negotiations as a battle or competition. “People often talk about negotiating as if you’re facing your opponent, but in most businesses, especially in the event planning industry, that ‘opponent’ — the people running the hotel, the catering staff, the people you contract with The designer runs your event – once negotiations are complete, they become your partner,” she told convene. “You are working together to deliver the best, most effective, most impactful event possible.” Alex Carter Carter is a professor at Columbia Law School, a United Nations negotiation…

Recently, Infiniti handed us the keys to a QX80 and let us treat it like our own car for a week. After real-world testing, we've compiled our experience to answer the…

7 questions to ask when seeking operator diversity
Operator diversification is a trend that continues to grow. Surcharges imposed by national carriers such as UPS and FedEx during this peak season confirm that shippers using only one carrier will face higher costs and less personalized service. It's not just about reducing the risk of putting all your eggs in one basket - shippers are finding that diversifying their last-mile carrier mix gives them more granular control over service levels and costs. A multi-carrier approach optimizes capacity, improves customer satisfaction and reduces costs. Also read: It’s a carrier market in chaos according to Deloittebrands that diversify their operator portfolios with non-traditional operators can “support growth and service performance.” In metropolitan markets where most customers live, regional carriers offering last-mile delivery are better positioned than national carriers to offer faster turnaround times, higher on-time delivery rates and more personalization. services, all at discounted prices comparable to those of national airlines. Industry Analyst forecast By 2027, the global last-mile delivery market…

We’re driving the new Dacia Duster: What are your questions?
Our test car was the flagship Extreme model, but it was powered by the less exciting non-electric 1.0-liter dual-fuel engine. We drove the Dacia Duster with the entry-level 1.0-litre dual-fuel engine and front-wheel drive. The third generation of the small SUV combines rugged styling with a spacious cabin. It retains the affordable nature of its predecessor, with prices starting at less than €20,000. The Dacia Duster dominates the European affordable small SUV market, with 2.4 million units sold over 13 years. When the all-new third-generation model debuted earlier this year, we knew we had to have it. Thankfully, the folks at Dacia Greece handed us the keys to the flagship Extreme version of the small SUV, which is powered by a 1.0-liter dual-fuel engine. The latest Duster continues to exude rugged appeal, with a class-leading 217 mm (8.5 in) of ground clearance. The new styling features a boxy shape with chiseled fenders, plenty of (20% recycled) plastic cladding, and modern…
Audi questions Chinese brands’ ability to serve customers
Audi Australia The company said the emphasis on customer service will help its cars stand out at a time when a flood of new brands are entering the market. "It's the beginning of a shift. There are a lot of cars and Chinese manufacturers coming in," Audi Australia CEO Geoff Mannering told Automotive Expert. "It's very dynamic. What's going to happen over the next five years is you're going to have a lot of cars in the $40-75,000 range... that's technically the volume. “There are some high-end manufacturers that are a little bit more expensive than that. The subject of the current rules is to bring it under fringe benefits and LCT… that will also have an impact. “I think every new competitor in the market is a threat in some way, whether it’s price position or pulling customers down to a different price level.” Mr Mannering doubts those brands can offer the same level of service and support as…

Here's the truth about how this car sounds, drives, and feels inside September 7, 2024 11:50 We recently had the opportunity to drive the updated 2025 Genesis G80 sedan. Before your test drive, we will ask you questions about what you would like to know. Here are the answers to your questions, in both written and video formats. The weird thing about the 2025 Genesis G80 is that it's basically the only Korean luxury sedan of its size on sale right now. It's also a legitimate contender in a market dominated by established players like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. Before we headed to Lexington, Kentucky, to test drive the revamped G80, we asked you what you wanted to know. Today, we're here to answer those questions for you. As a quick recap, we drove the top-of-the-line G80 3.5T Prestige (shocking, I know—Genesis doesn't offer anything else). It has a 375-horsepower (280-kilowatt) twin-turbocharged V6 engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a…
