Master Negotiaton Skills
September 30, 2014 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Negotiation is a core part of business, yet it is rarely discussed in isolation and almost always confused with selling. A solid negotiator will maximise opportunities for their company. As negotiation specialists we have personally arbitrated high stakes deals for the past 30 years. We break the fundamentals of negotiation down, and then work through the different elements – we can insure that whatever your starting point, we can take you to another level. This workshop will look at alternatives to Negotiation and how you know when is the right time to enter negotiations with the other party. It takes you through how to successfully plan a negotiation and the importance of a win-win outcome. With entertaining exercises and delivered by a world re-known Commercial Negotiator, this one day workshop will give you all the tools and techniques to win any negotiation.
