Description of Course

The course is run through participative discussion, exercises, practical work, questionnaires and negotiation games in order to enhance the learning process. The course starts off by identifying how to best enter a sales negotiation. It therefore first looks at the back-end of the sales process as it enters the negotiation phase. This is an important part of the course at it is essential to enter the negotiation phase in the best possible position in order to be able to negotiate effectively. The course then takes delegates through each stage of the negotiation process. It is a very participative course and as been specifically designed and developed to enhance delegates negotiation skills.

The course duration is three-days as our experience tells us that this is the time required in order to develop delegates into highly effective and skilled negotiators. Delegates will not only develop the knowledge of how to negotiate effectively but also develop their ability to negotiate with tough buyers. Our experience and research shows that professional buyers are becoming more skilled in the art of negotiating with suppliers. This means that in order to be in with a chance negotiating with a positive outcome, supplier representatives must be equally skilled and prepared in the art of skilful negotiation, and this course addresses these requirements.

Delegates individual approach to negotiations will be identified which will include tips for future self-development. Delegates will be taken through the techniques that are used by skilled buyers and negotiators and they will discover how to avoid the costly mistakes that are often made.

Delegate numbers are strictly limited to ensure individual attention and participation. Effective use of the points learnt on this course will pay huge dividends by achieving more favourable negotiation outcomes.
