Negotiating Success: Simple to Complex Negotiation

Doing the right deal can significantly increase value to both parties and promote a healthy, respectful relationship. Doing the wrong deal can eliminate profits and break relationships apart. Choose carefully.

This principle can be applied whether you are negotiating to buy a T shirt in the market, or getting the price of a house purchase down, or taking on a new hire for your team, or negotiating your own salary and bonus package – or bringing home a long-term high value worldwide contract with a global customer in the face of strong competition.

This workshop is specifically designed to deliver the critical skills, processes and thinking required to give you the strongest possibility of creating and agreeing a deal where both you and other(s) involved reach or exceed your goals more easily.

There are many ways to achieve great outcomes in any good negotiation. At the heart of them all are:

1. If you don’t ask, you very, very rarely get – having confidence and natural strength
2. Knowing your options and their value, to both yourself and the other party(ies)
3. Knowing their options and their value, to both them and yourself
4. Knowing how to position the evolving offers you make and how to react to the evolving offers you are presented with
5. Being skilled in the art and science of the conduct itself

Then add the competencies of knowing when to sell and when to negotiate, how to plan and prepare properly and to what degree, and engaging in a consistently powerful yet respectful way throughout. Well - if you’ve got experience in negotiating you probably recognise most if not all of the above and know just how important they are to a successful outcome for all.

Whatever your experience level, Negotiating Success will help you to either acquire those competencies and master them, or to brush up and reinforce their true value in helping you deliver excellent results.

You may even see ways this will benefit your personal life as well.

This workshop ensures that it’s easy for you to acquire these skills and processes. More importantly, the learning methodology and included activities/assignments help you to practice for mastery, personalise to your own style and approach, and apply these skills precisely to the reality of your role and the day-to-day situations you face.

We will be using the downloadable Negotiating Success Workbook resource; this has copies of key slides and notes, Application Exercises and Assignments to be done during and after the Workshop, Self-Assessment tests, Action Plans and further information with links.
