Sim Game Platform

We’ve created the world’s most advanced negotiation simulation. Graduates describe our gamified courses as intense, highly valuable and fun. When learning is fun, lessons stick and new empowering habits flourish. Our sim game accelerates sales teams’ along their learning curves, and reduces the investment requirement per head by enabling a group size of 20 – where all negotiators are receiving more focused feedback than ever before.

For the first time ever our sim enables your team to

1 Track negotiations through all levels, including comparing progress to colleagues in friendly rivalry with our Leaderboards.
2 Measure the amount of value each side achieved, plus the gold left on the table, and other metrics.
3 Put your finger on your moments of excellence, and your missed opportunities. Our Negotiation Experts provide coaching to all.

Who's This Seminar For?

Advanced Negotiation Course graduates typically possess at least a few years of negotiation experience, with many having previously taken negotiation training seminars. Our focus is commercially proven best practice, including profiling and detailed multi-dimensional in-depth personalised feedback, incorporating two-camera video feedback from a global negotiation expert. If you need practical proven approaches rather than academic discussions, get in touch.

Retention & ROI

The dirty secret the training industry isn't willing to bring up is the ‘forgetting curve’. Most legacy training delivers only a 10-15% retention 6-12 weeks after the course. We’ve made it our mission to dramatically improve our clients’ retention and, with it, their training ROI. We’re proud to share that we’ve found a far better way. Let’s meet to discuss how to guarantee high retention and ROI for your team.

Customize around your Team’s Unique Needs

When a training provider claims that they will customize your course, you need to ask them how they do this. We're proud to offer the most bespoke advanced negotiation training. Together we will choose sim games from our library. We are known for customizing sims around our clients’ needs - from scratch. Our pre-training diagnostic gives us valuable insights from your team's responses. These insights help us to shape our training agenda, including knowing how many days are needed and which modules to include.

Customize Your Course

We know that one size does not fit all. We are the most flexible negotiation provider. So tell us more about your needs and we can talk about how to achieve and exceed your goals.

Live Online or Classroom

Classroom

Your training can be delivered at your offices or at an off-site venue, such as a hotel or conference centre.

Maximum class sizes are typically either 12 with video, or 28 without video. The simulation games are used across all levels - so participants will need their laptops.

Live Online Facilitator-led

We’ve been delivering live online training since 2015, and now enjoy similar ratings and feedback from graduates to our classroom courses. Since more meetings are happening via video calls than ever before, the best way to equip your project management team is a live online video training.

Interaction and energy levels are kept high. Inclusive of breaks, each of our levels requires 4 1/2 hours, accommodating up to 20 participants.

Meet the Experts

Our Negotiation Experts are passionate about delivering top and bottom-line results to your organization. All are experienced in training teams across a variety of countries, departments, and industries.

Diagnose

Unless you measure your team before your training, you’ll not be able to customize to suit your team’s needs. Since 2005 clients have been trusting our diagnostic profile to better understand gain insights and baseline their teams against the competition.

Leaders tell us that our reports confirmed what they had noticed and that they gained new insights from our debrief conversation. Your team’s diagnostic profile informs our customisation choices.

Training Course Approach

You'll spend most of your time negotiating your way through challenging role-plays and then reviewing your negotiations. Why do we have such a strong bias towards the practical, sharing only a minimum of theory? Over the years we've noticed that behaviour is far more likely to change from learners 'doing'. Trust and mastery of our tool-sets grow out of getting great results in action.

Some modules are introduced with a role-play and unpacked in the feedback which follows, while more complex modules are briefed first followed by a role play. Feedback is provided via a number of methods: video analysis, point-scoring, and group discussions. The analysis will mainly depend on which module is being taught, each module building one-upon-another. Feedback can be right-brained such as persuasion techniques or left-brained such as tool-sets. Our delivery style is highly interactive and entertaining, keeping energy levels high.

Negotiation role plays build steadily in complexity, from single negotiators to team-based negotiations. Our Advanced Negotiation Skills Training Course is characterised by in-depth discussions amongst an experienced group of negotiators.

Assessment & Certification

In order to understand which tools and skills your team is enjoying their results from, and to support your team with coaching and discussions, it’s essential to measure.

Our scored assessment measures your team’s usage and results three months after their training. The pass mark is 50%, with personalised reports and certificates being sent to graduates, and a group report being sent and discussed with your leadership.

Graduates tell us that the assessment coupled with their personalised report is a handy reminder of everything they learned on the course, resuting in higher retention and ROI.
