ISM Endorsed Certified Master Negotiator

ISM Endorsed Certified Master Negotiator

Why Attend

Negotiators tend to concede too much, and focus on price and not enough on exchanging services other than price. The course focuses on these problems and the practical skills and techniques necessary to achieve win/win agreements. Participants will learn to identify, select, and execute various tactics and to respond to adversarial tactics.

It is an engaging workshop that equips negotiators and sales professionals to find and prove the value of their offering and resolve difficult negotiating challenges in a collaborative manner. The course will also provide you with a set of tools to handle the most demanding negotiation like a master. By working on a carefully chosen array of cases you will learn how to enhance your analytical skills and build your intuition, both of which are prerequisites for successful negotiations.
