Negotiation skills are used every day by many people at work. We negotiate every day when we make an agreement with a supplier; if we subscribe to a publication; when we book a venue; whenever we buy anything; and when we enter into a contract.
We negotiate internally and externally, with colleagues and suppliers. It is possible to develop negotiation skills to improve performance and the result. There are strategies we can use and tips we can develop.
We’ve seen participants of our training try the simplest of ideas and achieve great results.
Negotiation Skills Training - ROI
Our negotiation skills training is a very practical workshop, which has the opportunity to show a return on investment (ROI). If participants use any ideas from the training which have a positive impact financially, these can be recorded and measured against the investment in training.
Part of the training process is to get buy in from the participants to record the impact of the ideas they implement and then to share them. This can be done in a fairly simple way.
