How much do you invest in training your people to negotiate?

Our guess is nothing or very little! You may think that your “sales training” is relevant, but it definitely isn’t. The vast majority of sales training schemes are based on old fashioned “foot in the door” techniques, and trot out clichés like “win/win”.

It is getting harder than ever to maintain margins in a digital world, so Negotiation Skills are now more important than ever. This session will introduce you to the negotiation as a process approach: then it’s up to you!"
