Supporting Decision Makers on Critical Business Challenges in Asia.
Better Call a Negotiator was founded by Jean-Baptiste Déal to guide decision makers through Asia’s most critical business challenges. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in international business and project management, the company delivers targeted solutions in crisis response and strategic project leadership, equipping clients to navigate high-stakes situations with clarity and confidence.
Born in 2024 as a rebirth of Avant Agents—a trusted business accelerator launched in 2016—Better Call a Negotiator emerged in response to global and personal upheavals, including the loss of Jean-Baptiste’s father, the pandemic, macroeconomic disruptions, and the insights gained from transformative mentors. The firm continues Avant Agents’ legacy of enabling organizations worldwide to scale and thrive in the complex Asian market by connecting businesses to vital investors, partners, and resources.
Better Call a Negotiator empowers clients by fostering language proficiency (French, English, Mandarin), deep cultural understanding, and mastery in negotiation strategy. Its approach emphasizes that value is created through cultural differences, effective networking, and unwavering integrity, helping organizations avoid pitfalls, maximize profits, and build lasting, sustainable success.
