El Segundo, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/17/2013 -- The Edge Negotiation Group, specializing in business negotiations since it was founded in 2009, has just brought on a new partner, Gerald Harris. Consumer Goods and Retail executives both say they believe this is a match that will bring a lot of opportunity both for personal growth and business growth.

Harris first became acquainted with the Edge Negotiation team while attending a workshop in Toronto, Canada five years ago while he was the Director of Pricing Strategy and Vendor Development at Walmart. He had arranged for an 8-man team of merchandising VPs to attend the workshop, and as a result, they were able to generate an incremental $50.0m in profit for Walmart Canada within six months.

“I had a chance to get to know the program and know how well it works first hand,” Harris said. “I really believe in what this company does, and I am very much looking forward to the many opportunities I will have while working with the team at The Edge Negotiation Group.”

A team spokesperson at Edge Negotiation said they expect Harris to add immediate value to the business as he brings a new, strong background in consumer goods and retail to the team.
