OVERVIEW

Negotiating is about resolving differences. People who can master the process of negotiation find they can save time and money, gain cooperation, and develop a higher degree of satisfaction with outcomes at work and at home.

To achieve the desired results in your negotiation, your persuasion and influencing skill must flow with your negotiating skill.

Ask yourself: How often have you needed to persuade others to do something? How much time do you spend every week presenting new ideas? Working to get buy-in from a customer, someone in a different department, or a boss? Competing for limited resources? Convincing your team to support a new project?

These are situations that arises almost every day. We all spend an increasingly significant portion of our workdays drawing on our negotiation, persuasive and influencing skills. Your ability to communicate effectively in negotiation, persuasion and influencing would directly affect your success at work – as these skills expedite sales, articulate plans, accelerates work performance, diffuse conflicts and handle concerns with competence and tact.

This course will provide you with a comfort level to negotiate in any situation. It includes ways to promote effective communication and techniques for turning face-to-face confrontation into side-by-side problem solving.
