Negotiating for a WIN-WIN

Learning how to successfully maneuver through negotiations is often a difficult and stressful process. Learn the basic frameworks which are best utilized in a negotiations setting: sales, client, internal, personal. Understanding conflict resolution through employing a step-by-step strategy to arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement can even serve to strengthen (rather than damage) relationships.

Interactive exercises which develop creative solutions and anticipate potential objections and threats provides the core of this workshop. Through the use of participant case studies, the program identifies practical tools to develop confidence and competence for professionals to arrive at a WIN-WIN outcome and result.
