Overview

Negotiation is key to everyday business and the ability to negotiate effectively in a wide range of business contexts is crucial. This involves securing the best outcome for both parties and protecting valued relationships.

Common concerns we hear include:

  • How do I retain rapport and a positive relationship while negotiating?
  • How do I get to the heart of the other party’s requirements?
  • How do I achieve my goal while retaining my integrity?

This course will confirm and consolidate your existing negotiation skills as well as provide you with some new negotiation tools and perspectives, supported by plenty of practice. Using the ‘Harvard method’, or interest-based relational approach, you’ll learn how to achieve valuable ‘win-win- outcomes that deliver for both parties and build lasting relationships that deliver value in the long-term. What you learn will be useful at work and in many other contexts.

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.
