EPISODE 8: "THE ART OF NEGOTIATION AND YOUR MILLION DOLLAR BRAND" FEAT. TEJ BRAHMBHATT: VETERAN CORPORATE & INVESTMENT BANKER : BONUS EXT. INTERVIEW
Join Justine as she interviews masterful negotiator, investment banker, strategy consultant and impassioned speaker, Tej Brahmbhatt. She dissects his mind to get insights and tips for business negotiation, sales,million dollar mindset and business development. Tej is a member of the Forbes council and is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the business world. He is well respected by his colleagues, clients and students. 🌎 BACKGROUND: Tej is a force to reckon with when it comes to negotiation. He attended a state university and was always in some form of banking his entire working career. From Penn State he moved to Queens against his parents’ wishes into a dingy garage turned home for him, then eventually to the Big Time (Manhattan). His first adult job was on Wall Street, an hour commute via the 7 train from Flushing. Between his venturesome move to NYC and the first job (pay was minimum wage - truth) he risked it all for a plethora of extremely fun but insanely intense "Wolf of Wall Street" type teachings there for later. Tej worked for and was trained by the guys who trained under the namesake of the movie. Although he still had visions of greater grandeur to work on Wall Street and enjoy that NYC life. This lofty mindset really helped him to dig in and find his personal value he brought to those around him, in life and on the job. 💸 Whether you are a firm partner, top sales professional, corporate executive, or driven entrepreneur who wants to hit the next level in career and life, Tej has arduously put in the time and work to perfect his trade as a business development negotiator and client & portfolio management expert. Beyond that, he has become accustomed to sliding down the slippery slope of failures and quickly coming back to turn those unsuccessful client presentations and negotiations into successful learnings. He also has the know-how to leverage those losses into lessons via simple but vital strategies and templates for you. Not only is Tej a business development and client relationship management coach, he is an active practitioner of it. If you want to increase your income and revenues through new business generation there is no better person to learn from then Tej Brahmbhatt. 🏹 And so..The Hunter was Born… Desire plus unrelenting practice of how to improve negotiation skills was Tej's primary mandate. With those attributes, and all in uphill battles against numerous odds to even find or land the jobs, he sought out, planned, and worked to eventually accomplish several milestones in his life and career. 🔥SOME FAST FACTS ABOUT TEJ: * He was a cold calling analyst turned head account executive (#1 out of 90) on Wall Street * Nationally top-ranked (#7 of 1000+) banker; five years consecutively at Wells Fargo * Corporate banking regional executive (Fortune 500) * Founder, Partner, and Entrepreneur : Watchtower Capital 🏦To offer perspective of his cumulative value to his employers: Tej has personally (directly) sourced and booked over $1.2 billion+ USD in transactions throughout my career and led teams to close over $10 billion+ in transactions. 🔥His ongoing journey of serial entrepreneurship continues to thrive, adapt and improve as he stockpiles an armoury of priceless lessons in business and life. #justinepogroskeofficial #milliondollarbranders #tejbrahmbhatt #watchtowercapital #negotiator #entrepreneur #milliondollarbranders #wolfofwallst #podcast #buildingbrandempires #themilliondollarbranders #brandstrategist #brandstorytelling #beyourowncompetition #bankablebrand #brandasset #personalbrand #buildabrand #gobigorgohome #branding #advertising #marketing #brandbuilding #advertising #socialmediamarketing #entrepreneur #personalbrand #clubhouse #personalbranding #businessdevelopment
