Business is all about negotiation. Negotiation is a key management skill which can significantly improve an individual's ability to manage staff effectively; to achieve the best deal in sales or procurement; to build the possible relationship with your client; to deliver to objectives. Every member of staff, within every department, negotiates every working day of their lives.  But how often do they achieve the best possible outcome? There are three essential elements - preparation, practice and training.

This course provides a proven approach to the negotiation process and will enable staff to develop and practice the skills necessary for successful negotiation in their environment. It will develop them into skilled negotiators who can win in business and at the same time develop and manage key relationships. It’s practical and immediately useful. Theoretical models reinforce new found capabilities in establishing relationships, creative strategies, critical negotiating techniques and behaviours. This results in removing pressure and contention and, finally, developing power.
