In dealing with customers and other stakeholders, the understanding of the fundamentals and complexities of negotiations is crucial. It doesn’t stop there either. Negotiations exist with subordinates and colleagues to get the job done, or with top management for concessions or needed support. Many of the principles applicable in business negotiations also apply to personal negotiations too, in order to achieve personal goals.

This program will prepare participants for all types of negotiations; to keep the balance between asking for too much or settling for too little. It also helps develop the right skill-set for behaving at the negotiation table, discovering how to avoid errors which can break the deal, identifying, using and overcoming negotiation tactics which crafty negotiators can use against you, and learning how to read and use body language to clarify exactly what the other party is trying to say or to hide.

Additionally, it will sharpen skills in making counter-offers that have a higher chance of being accepted, as well as to overcome objections to offers made and counter-offers.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Professionals, mostly front-liners - but also some back-office personnel - who have regular customer interface. Customers may be internal or external.
