Produce Extraordinary Outcomes

Negotiation Skills Workshop

Throughout the United States and internationally this course has provided people at all levels in corporations the skills necessary to lead successful internal and external negotiations. Organizations are well aware of the need to drive value from their vendors as well as to maintain relationships and margins with their customers. Foundational negotiation skills are critical to thrive and survive in today’s business climate.

The question is, will people successfully negotiate on your behalf or leave value on the table to your detriment. In the years that we have been offering the Negotiation Skills Workshop, the course has helped individuals and organizations to embrace negotiation situations, to drive immediate value as well as to maintain healthy relationships with vendors and customers.

Most individuals (team members) do not know that most external negotiations start with successful internal negotiations, i.e. what do you really need and what does success look like. All are given goals, however in our complex relationships and compressed timelines, individuals can leave value “on the table” by not know what is really needed and wanted by the organizational leadership. Perceived “value” by one party can be a “throwaway” by another. You will never find this latent trading value, if you and your teams are not planning and preparing for negotiations.
