Testimonials
“I felt this course was great in building and adapting my negotiation skills! The trainer, Jonathan O’Brien, was excellent and I learnt loads of new negotiation tactics that I wasn’t even aware of, including how to recognise when a supplier may be using them on me and the counter tactics to use! This Red Sheet course has given me the confidence I needed for future negotiations”.

“I was sceptical about how engaged I would be on an online course, but I can say I enjoyed this just as much as in-person courses. The workshops had high levels of interactivity and engagement from everyone in the course. It gave me insight into how I can align with strategic suppliers and how I can start to take these steps forward into my organization”.

“Red Sheet has changed how we negotiate in Oerlikon and has become a standard and required approach for all practitioners negotiating important agreements. We have realized a clear and quantifiable uplift in negotiation capability across the global team which has enabled us to realise greater results from our negotiations. The most striking change is how our teams now negotiate. Whereas before the supplier always seemed to have the upper hand, now we have the upper hand – suppliers just don’t know what to do or where we are heading next – it puts us in control of the process and individuals”.
Peter Iff, Head of Purchasing Excellence – Oerlikon
“The online training provided by Positive Purchasing exceeded my expectations. The level of engagement of my team throughout the training was very high due to the slick presentation and entertaining breakout sessions. The skilled staff kept the pace and material fresh, and the multiple sessions and breaks allowed my team to learn and also keep up with their ‘day job’. The presentation quality set a high standard and provided a benchmark for the virtual future in our organization”.
Kevin Black, Director of Project Management – Smart Automation Solutions

“This was a great course for improving my negotiation skills! The content was very informative, I took away useful tools and frameworks, and the online format kept me (surprisingly) engaged!
