Workshop on Negotiating Professionally
簡介
We negotiate in more circumstances than we may think. At work, for time and resources or with vendors for contractual assignments, and also in our personal lives when purchasing high-value items such as a car or a home.
Yet many of us are poorly prepared to enter into a negotiation and we often fall short of getting the best deal for ourselves and, indeed for the other party. So in this two-day course, we’ll cover all you need to know about negotiating in the real world of business.
Who Should Attend
This course is aimed at company staff, executives and managers and offers the knowledge and skill-sets we need to become a successful, ethical negotiator. The classroom portion of this course is a two-day combination of lectures, discussions and team exercises where attendees will learn negotiation tools, techniques and strategies, and experience them through practice as individuals and teams.
Course Structure
The two-day classroom workshop will cover all you need to know about negotiation through a combination of lectures and discussions centred around six practical negotiation exercises intended to endorse and embed the skills and knowledge taught.
