Professional Negotiation Skills

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

This powerful one-day negotiation skills training 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 content of the LDL negotiation skills programme 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.

This highly interactive programme shows you how to achieve this whilst leaving the other party satisfied with the outcome.

Flexible learning options

  • Open Course: Live, interactive virtual workshops in small groups
  • In-Company Training: Available in-person or virtually to suit your team’s requirement
