Deal Sweetener Mugs

'Gentlemen, I've been authorized to sweeten the offer.'

'And were there a point to your proposal, Henderson - What would it be?'

"Forget five-year plans. Let's just figure out how to make it to lunch."

"And need I remind you, the 'art of the deal' is the lifeblood of this company."

'Now that I have your attention...'

"These projections don't make sparkles shoot out my ass."

"Miracles happen, gentlemen, but they don't come cheap."

'Which 'win' is ours? Because the one on the left looks bigger.'

'Big sale at the Dog Store. Buy 1, get 2 free.'

"We structured the deal so it won't make any sense to you."

"They've agreed to the merger, the sticking point is who is swallowing who?"

'If we have only fractional ownership, it's not a private jet anymore, is it?'

'He's ruthless and greedy... so let's make sure he's on our side.'

"That's Hicks from the corporate office. He's adorable, but trust me—when it comes to acquisitions, he's an animal!"

'He exuded the confidence of an exec who had closed mega deals, and hadn't found a flea in a week.'

You gotta hand it to the old man, he still knows how to motivate!
