Descriptif

To improve the negotiating performance of the Participants, this cours helps them to understand the structure underlying all business negotiations, to dentify the appropriate skills used for sales negotiations and to practice these skills in a constructive learning environment. This business negotiation course is based upon our understanding that all negotiations have an underlying structure and that there are a number of simple skills which, if developed, can lead to improved business negotiating performance. The course explores this structure and the associated skills by means of a series of short lectures and through the use of live negotiating exercises which are video recorded for later evaluation. The participants will be introduced to the business negotiation phases and shown how it can be used to manage their business negotiations in a more professional and competent manner. The negotiation phases can be used throughout the negotiating process: to help in preparing for a negotiation, during the negotiation to identify where it has reached and afterwards, to analyse a negotiation and learn lessons for the next time. It is a map of the negotiating process, not a set of commands to be applied and practised. The lecture sessions explain these phases and the skills associated with each phase. The case-play sessions allow the skills to be practised and applied in a safe environment.
