Negotiation Skills Training

A group of people discussing idea

Duration: 1-2 days

Overview

Negotiating is a part of everyday life, but in business it is fundamental to success. Poor negotiation can cripple a company just as quickly as losing key customers.

In the workplace, negotiation skills are not only required when dealing with customers and employees in particular circumstances, good negotiation skills can actually have the effect of building stronger relationships and better communications, delivering solutions that avoid conflict.

Confident negotiators are able to maintain composure while persevering with integrity and demonstrating commitment towards a successful negotiation outcome.

For those involved in sales, negotiation is not an option but is rather everyday life.

While each sale is an ongoing web of negotiations leading to the winning of an opportunity. The sales path does not however end there but rather continues, forever leading to another opportunity where further value can be added.

In this course, participants will learn:

  • the structure of a good negotiation
  • how to understand their customer’s language during a negotiation
  • the customers buying strategies.
