Negotiation - Strategy building

Or especially, how much does it really cost if you miss the opportunity for a proper exchange? Unpleasant questions that you may not want to know the answer to. However, if you do, and would like to become from good to excellent negotiator, careful preparation and conscious strategy building are inevitable for your success.

The objective of the training is to draw the attention of participants to the importance of preparation and conscious strategy-building for a negotiation.

During the program participants learn the principles and techniques of conscious negotiation planning on the basis of DEVELOR’s Negotiation Competency Model and by using a special visualization tool called Negotiation Planner.
They gain experience about the effect of proper planning on the success of negotiation and practice it through complex case studies and situational exercises.

We put emphasis on handling those existing, but often overlooked or poorly managed factors such as qualitative dimensions, or in other words, the concept of “currencies” in a negotiation.
And last but not least, we introduce the participants to the basics of strategic thinking and to the fine-tuning of the negotiation strategy based on the assumptions of the common and undercover knowledge with the partner.
