You negotiate constantly; at work, at home, with partners, peers, colleagues, superiors, staff, competitors, clients, investors, and suppliers.

In this fun one-day course, a former international trade negotiator teams up with an experienced corporate negotiator to share approaches honed in the World Trade Organisation, on factory floors in China and in Silicon Valley meeting rooms.

Together, they’ll teach you methodologies, tools and tips guaranteed to make you a more confident and successful negotiator.

Reasons to Choose This Course Include

• You’ll learn practical and immediately usable tips on how to plan for, execute, and implement complex negotiations;
• You’ll learn to negotiate better financial outcomes, with the help of case studies and scientific research;
• You’ll accelerate your path to negotiation mastery;
• You’ll gain skills that become increasingly critical as your firm grows and your career progresses;

• You’ll leave with repeatable tools and checklists you can use immediately.

Who Should Attend?

This course has something for you whether you’re an accomplished negotiator looking to pick up some new tricks from other operators or new to a world of negotiating tables and red lines. Designed to be seniority agnostic, the tools and tips it provides are as valid in getting to ‘yes’ on a four figure office stationary contract as in a make-or-break eight figure deal. Whatever your position, role or ambition, this course equips you with the negotiation EQ and IQ for commercial success.
