Develop Your Core Negotiating Skills

Negotiation: the discussion between two or more parties aimed at reaching an agreement. Whilst the definition is simple enough, the real-life practicality of negotiating is often not so easy.

Yet, this is a skill that we must use every day, and not just in business either; negotiating is as important to closing that high-value business deal as it is to maintaining a healthy relationship with your partner or getting the kids to help around the house.

Nonetheless, given how often we rely on our ability to negotiate, very few people master it as a skill. In business, this can lead to deal-ending obstacles being left unresolved, such as conflicting interests or competing agendas, despite these being entirely fixable problems.

As such, we created this one-day negotiation course to teach you the skills and essential strategies you’ll need for every potential phase of a successful negotiation – resulting in a higher level of self-confidence and more win-win business agreements.

Negotiating is a key aspect of life and business. Significantly improve your ability to influence and control the process.

Course Agenda

Our negotiation training courses are split into two sessions: morning and afternoon. The morning will focus on negotiation theory, whilst the afternoon will be an engaging, practical experience where we put the theory into practice.

Morning Session

  • Introduction to negotiation skills
  • What is negotiation?
  • Characteristics of ultra-successful negotiators
  • Negotiating skills self-assessment:
    • A short questionnaire to be completed
  • Negotiation strategies: Positional bargaining
    • Hard bargaining versus soft bargaining
    • The pros and cons of both approaches
  • Producing wise agreements:
    • Separating the people from the problem – how to deal with conflict, people issues and emotions
    • Focusing on interests, not positions – how to lay the foundations for win-win agreements
    • Inventing options for mutual gain – finding creative solutions to secure win-win deals
    • Using objective criteria – how to unstick a negotiation
  • What if they are more powerful?
    • How to protect your position and make the most of your assets
  • What if they won’t play?
    • Using negotiation jujitsu!
  • Open discussion and preparation for negotiation role plays

Afternoon Session

The afternoon session will involve the practical hands-on application of the theory presented in the morning session, involving role-plays based on typical real-life negotiation scenarios.

This allows delegates to practice new skills and test key tactics with constructive, immediate feedback from our trainers.
