66th Effective Tactical Negotiation
By Rowen Untivero
66th Effective Tactical Negotiation by Rowen Untivero
Do our salespeople, purchasing people and managers really know how to negotiate?
Do they bargain (value-reduce) instead of negotiate (value retain/expand)
Do they know when negotiation begins or when it is wastefully premature?
Do they still think negotiation is an art and devoid of science (framework and processes) to optimize concession management?
Do they fall prey to dark-side gambits or can they handle 3 families of gambits?
Do they effectively operate in all 4 nego-sphere quadrants?
Do they know how to use 48 kinds of stonewalls, modify position without loss of face, use a parachute option, avoid impasses and deadlocks?
Do they have a 1-page tactical negotiation tool planner that simply yet comprehensively prepares them for a real-time negotiation encounter or do they just list down concession items and approved ranges?
Do they know how to use the simple mathematics of negotiation in tandem with the process of concession management that will spell a big difference in terms of profit and loss?
Do they know how to make power analysis?
Do they know how to effectively negotiate from both a strong and a weak position?
IGNORANCE is not blissful when it leads to disaster. But such is avoidable if people know and understand framework, process, and skill points of negotiation. After all, THE GREATEST SOURCE OF POWER IN NEGOTIATION IS THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE.
Program Concept
BARGAINING IS NOT NEGOTIATING.
THE GREATEST SOURCE OF POWER IN NEGOTIATION IS THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE.
Negotiation is part art but largely systematic. Participants are provided knowledge input on negotiation frameworks. Lots 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 the development of their diagnostic faculty and tactical negotiation reflexes
