Essential Negotiator

About this Negotiation Course

We negotiate for business agreements, higher pay, a better job, our home or car. We only get to choose whether we negotiate better or worse.

Nobody tells us how much value we left behind, until now. Once you agree your deals using our negotiation simulation game, you'll not only see who won, you'll see by how much. Most importantly you'll learn where value was created and claimed. Isn't it time to learn how to get more of what you want?

Whether you're needing to persuade internally or externally, you'll transform stress into confidence, as you enjoy dramatically better agreements. Graduates report that the recognition this training not only earned them more respect and greater responsibility, but resulted in promotions and better career trajectories. Delivery is either in a classroom or online facilitator-led.

 

Training Course Overview

On our public courses expect to be paired with participants from other industries, departments and countries. You’ll spend most of your time navigating your way through highly practical role-play exercises of increasing complexity, delivered via our global first Negotiation Simulation game.

In-house courses see us collaborating closely with clients asking questions and making many customization fine-tuning. We typically deliver in our clients’ offices, and increasingly via negotiation training. Tailoring typically includes customisation of case studies, choosing modules and the depth of coverage, sim game choices from our library and profiles. Want to know more?

Training Course Approach

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 in and mastery over our negotiation tool-sets stems from achieving great results in action. So you’ll spend most of your time negotiating your way through challenging role-plays and then reviewing your negotiations.

Whether classroom delivered or negotiation training online, our expert facilitator-led delivery style is highly interactive and entertaining, keeping energy levels high. Some modules are introduced with a role-play and unpacked in the feedback which follows, while more complex negotiation modules are briefed first followed by a role play. Feedback is provided via a number of methods, including group discussions, point-scoring, and video analysis (classroom delivery). The focus our feedback changes depend on which module is being taught. Each module builds upon those you’ve already learned. Feedback can be right-brained such as persuasion techniques, or left-brained such as tool-sets.

Negotiation role-plays steadily build steadily in complexity, from single negotiators to team-based negotiations.
