We all operate in an increasingly complex commercial and professional environment that requires us to negotiate on a daily basis not only with customers, clients, suppliers and contractor, but also with managers, fellow employees and colleagues within our own organisation.
‘Mastering Negotiation Skills’ is a five-day course designed to explain the negotiation process in detail and demonstrate how to use it effectively, giving delegates the negotiation skills and strategies they need to succeed in today’s challenging commercial environment.
The ability to negotiate effectively and manage conflict is one of the most valuable skill sets we can develop within our organization. Not only does developing these skills allow us to negotiate better deals by creating and then claiming value, but it also enables us to manage teams more expertly, interact more constructively with colleagues and manage conflict effectively.
This course provides both a comprehensive strategic analysis of the negotiation process as well as the essential tools for planning and managing every negotiation. Delegates will learn to negotiate excellent outcomes both externally with suppliers, contractors, and customers but also internally within your organization between colleagues, departments, and managers.
One of the major keys to success in the business world is being able to apply “discipline” to your life and actions! This is the key to developing personal effectiveness and professional excellence.
