I have a more "take it or leave it" mentality when I give someone an offer or a quote. I gave you my best, why would I leave room to move. You told me what you wanted and here it is.

Don't make your best offer your first offer. You'll get skinned alive

For specific books, Negotiate to Close by Karass will get you in the right mindset of those successful people

Also I would ask to go along to higher level meetings or be involved in strategy or organizational level projects. At worst, the boss says no but knows you are serious and interested. At best they say yes and you learn shite and get exposure. You can't lose
