Failed negotiations can lead to loss of money, sales or jobs; businesses closing; relationships breaking down; demotivated teams and lots of other consequences.  This module explores the notion that a positive negotiation starts with respect for the other side, and a genuine desire to play the ball, and not the person. It emphasizes the need for research, planning and strategy prior to the negotiation and positive listening, language and behavioural skills during the negotiation.  Role play makes the session lively and interactive, and allows the learning to sit well.

 

The session covers:

 

  • The need for research
  • Choosing the team
  • Planning the strategy
  • Understanding BATNA
  • Interests and genuine needs vs positions and stances
  • Challenging behaviours
  • Non-verbal signals
  • Hidden agendas
  • Avoiding deadlock
  • Spotting movement
  • Going for the close

 

After this module, participants will appreciate the value of solid preparation; they will recognise ‘what is really going on in the room’ at every negotiation, and will know to apply specific tools to influence outcomes.
