Essential Negotiation Skills

Individuals throughout every level of a corporation, small business, non-profit or other organization are constantly called upon to take part in negotiations on behalf of their organizations. Business professionals must deal with customers, vendors, partners and internal colleagues on a regular basis. Non-profits find themselves negotiating with donors and benefactors who supply the valuable funds that enable them to make a difference in their community. The key to being a successful negotiator is a training program that enables participants to learn by doing while focusing on the long-term benefits of a relationship.

Our Essential Negotiation Skills workshop provides participants with a comprehensive set of tools and skills that apply to the real-world negotiations they face on a daily basis. Whether negotiating a vendor agreement to provide software, working with an industry leader to build a partnership or even negotiating the final terms on a residential purpose, Essential Negotiation Skills is designed to make participants more effective. Our workshop begins with the tools that enable participants to recognize varying negotiating styles and how to flex accordingly so as to establish rapport and build a collaborative environment. We then show participants how to work through the negotiation process to build mutually satisfactory outcomes. Time is also spent understanding how to deescalate conflict and defuse dishonest negotiating tactics when used by other parties. Interactive sessions, role plays, activities, self assessments and other application exercises take concepts and allow participants to turn them into reality.

Essential Negotiation Skills is a skills-based workshop that delivers results. By attending this session, you will learn to:

  • Handle any type of negotiation situation with poise and confidence
