Course description
Negotiation
This Negotiation course is designed to provide professionals involved in complex, high-risk negotiations with the unique behavioural skills and insights needed to secure success in all of their negotiations.
Based on Huthwaite's unique research in Verbal Behaviour Analysis, the three-day programme focuses on equipping delegates with the framework and tactics needed to always negotiate from an optimal position, leading the discussion towards the desired outcome. More specifically, the interactive courses uses practical exercises and a number of negotiation simulations to enable delegates to:
- Develop familiarity with best practice negotiation tools
- Understand how to open, lead and close a negotiation
- Apply the concepts of levers and bargaining
- Use the key behaviours of effective negotiators
- Keep a positive climate, overcome deadlock and handle 'dirty tricks'
The skills gained will enable delegates to collaborate more effectively with their colleagues and to ultimately negotiate more profitable deals and increased value. In addition, they will receive the feedback needed to create a solid Action Plan for the continued development of their skills after the course.
