Negotiating With Sharks
Course Duration: 2 DaysIntroduction
In today's challenging business environment where everyone takes position, how do you negotiate to get what you want without giving too much of what you have?
Everyone negotiates on a daily basis; childrena and parents, job seekers and managers, customers and sellers, business owners and governments. Beyond the world of buying and selling, people use negotiation for a variety of reasons which includes disputes, conflicts, deadlines, or viewpoints. The people we negotiate with might be better trained in negotiation, or they could be more skillful through their past experiences. So, if we negotiate with people whose intent is simply to win at all cost, usually at our expense, how do we ensure a final agreement that will work for all parties? How do we make sure that the size of our win is as big as it can be?
This intensive, hands-on, activity driven program teaches skills that boost better results through an increased understanding and effective implementation of the negotiation process. It helps sharpen the negotiation skills of even experienced negotiators, empowering you to maximize every negotiation opportunity. By providing you with a rigorous training environment, your active participation in our program will enable you to apply and sustain your learning to a point of forming winning habits. You will have the ability to create the greatest positive impact at every given opportunity when facing any negotiation every time.
