Negotiating to Win

WHEN IT’S THE RESULT THAT COUNTS!

In a world of multinational corporations, global supply chains and instant digital communication, business professionals have to negotiate in international teams and across cultural boundaries every day. Whether it’s allocating resources for a project, funding a new initiative or even applying for a new job, negotiation and interactive decision-making skills are important for all kinds of roles.

Our Negotiating to Win seminar will help you to gain a better understanding of decision-making strategies, understand and use your disposition in the face of conflict, and learn to powerfully maximise these to become a more effective negotiator.

In its three-day version, this seminar teaches even more experienced negotiators to negotiate in multicultural contexts, excel within small bargaining zones, handle complex cross-cultural team negotiations, manage difficult personalities and obtain good results even when up against oppressive deadlines.

Increase your proficiency in overcoming hard bargainers and hard bargaining situations. Learn how to analyse complex negotiation scenarios, provide a larger range of competitive and cooperative negotiation strategies, and find out how to “expand the pie”. More for me doesn’t need to mean less for you! In many negotiation situations, there are value-creating opportunities that can be exploited to provide “more pie” for both parties.

With a focus on the psychology of persuasion as well as the importance of argument-building and creativity in negotiation success, this seminar will give you the winning edge.

A highly qualified trainer facilitates this intensive experience-based seminar: you apply your new negotiation skills by taking part in a number of dynamic, interactive exercises and role plays with video feedback.

TARGET GROUP

Negotiating to Win seminars are aimed at everyone from entry-level employees to chief executives who are confronted with negotiating change, agreements, sales, cost issues, budgets, new business … in short, anyone who needs to convince others in English and across cultures.
