Advanced Negotiation Skills

Why Needed

In complex negotiations the stakes can be very high. Negotiating is a key skill of any manager or senior executive. Negotiating expertly is critical to achieving success.Not being aware of all the more complex negotiating tricks, ploys and gambits makes executives very vulnerable and at the mercy of those who are more aware.

The purpose of this programme is to equip you with powerful negotiation techniques that have maximum impact. Advanced Negotiations go into a lot more care and attention on planning and investigates an 18-stage process on how to prepare a complex negotiation with many phases. More than any other training investment, it yields direct and considerable bottom line results. In the programme we use advanced case studies with many negotiating variables.
