ABOUT DEAN

Built in the room, not in a textbook.

Dean Kelly has spent 30 years helping teams navigate complex B2B deals where price, risk and internal confidence collide.

A career shaped by commercial pressure.

Dean’s experience spans telecommunications, finance, retail, transport, technology and government, in markets across APAC and around the world.

That includes five years as a contracted deal coach and seller-enablement lead for a global Fortune 500 technology company in CDN and security, working across the USA, EMEA and APJ — with a particular focus on the negotiation dynamics of SaaS and enterprise.

Negotiation Mechanics turns that experience into a working system: clear deal positions, stronger alternatives, structured concession trades, procurement preparation and live coaching when the outcome matters.

“The moment you give a concession without trading for something, you’ve taught the buyer to keep pushing.”

No subcontractors, no junior analysts — when you engage us, you get Dean.
