Professional Negotiating Skills

Two Days

Negotiating skills are vital. No other form of training has such an immediate measurable effect on the bottom line. From simple price challenges to important commercial agreements, negotiation is a major factor in profitability.

This powerful two-day course is about commercial negotiating skills. Whilst it is designed for sales people, sales managers and key account executives it is equally suitable for any executive involved with negotiating WIN-WIN outcomes.

The course clearly defines the core of negotiation as ‘both move’. If we have to move towards the other party, we must insist they move towards us as well. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is given away free.

The course shows you how to achieve this whilst leaving the other party satisfied with the outcome.
 

Course Objectives

At the end of the course participants will.

  • Have an in-depth understanding of negotiation and how to prepare for it
     
  • Be able to differentiate between the TACTICS required to deal with a price challenge and the STRUCTURE required to negotiate agreements and contracts.

  • Know how to win business without sacrificing margin.

  • Have experienced the cut and thrust of negotiation from ‘both sides of the table’. Three situation role-plays are used to illustrate the material.
