Rowen Untivero's Effective Negotiation and Influencing Skills E-mail

Printable PDF Version

 

Learn everything you need to know in creating a win-win proposition.

Sellers and buyers negotiate with each other. Customer service people negotiate with customers. Departments negotiate with other departments. Peers negotiate internally within organizations. Executives negotiate with counterparts on the supplier-side or customer-side, perhaps even with competition to talk mergers with. Executive assistants, in behalf of their superiors, negotiate across the organization or even externally. Almost everyone negotiates.

So how does one negotiate? How does one avoid bargaining? Quite as important to ask is when exactly does negotiation come in? Do people realize that to prematurely engage in negotiation or much worse, bargaining, is inefficient and a waste of time, effort and money?

 

Key benefits for participants
Each participant will learn:

  • a clear distinction between negotiating and bargaining
  • an understanding of when negotiations should begin and when not to engage in it
  • knowledge of negotiation frameworks
  • an understanding of the negotiation process
  • seed implants of skills involved in tactical negotiation
  • familiarization of ploys and how to handle each effectively
  • confidence points that reinforce negotiation posture

 

Key benefits for companies
The company will gain:

  • financially from more efficient execution of sales and/or purchase deals
  • from strategic partnerships with suppliers
  • from ripple effects on other team members
  • from the impact of a more productive and job-satisfied negotiations-trained personnel/team

 

Program Concept
BARGAINING IS NOT NEGOTIATING. Negotiation is part art but largely systematic; bargaining is part ignorance and pervasively inefficient. Participants are provided knowledge input on negotiation frameworks. A lot of stories, cases and examples are used to hammer down critical components and principles of negotiation.

The seminar culminates with a negotiation simulation that uses a case common to all groups but compartmentalized in terms of information, just like in the real world. The case is tactically planned for and then role-played in front of the class by several groups. Apart from providing an immediate opportunity to practice negotiations in a safe environment, participants learn to be more observant of the exchange and process, stimulating development of their diagnostic faculty and tactical negotiation reflexes.
