Negotiation – Advanced Red Sheet

This is our most popular negotiation course and helps prepare and equip delegates with the theory, tactics and practical experience of negotiation that enable outstanding results. It provides winning approaches for negotiation planning and helps those who attend, build the confidence and capability to take on any negotiation. Delegates explore in-depth, all aspects of negotiation and negotiation planning.

This course will help ensure you don’t leave money on the table. It will enable delegates to secure winning outcomes from each negotiation they do, to stay in control of the negotiation process and to have confidence in their approach no matter what the scenario.

Included is a module on personality, with the option of a full psychometric assessment to evaluate individual negotiation style as well as a module on negotiation across cultural boundaries. Negotiation tactics and techniques are covered in depth as well as body language and verbal language.

Delivered either as a series of live instructor-led online workshops or face-to-face in the classroom, during these highly interactive sessions delegates get to witness first-hand some of the winning approaches and even try putting some into practice.

The program culminates in a full, team-based role play negotiation, either face-to-face for classroom training or via web conference for online programs, which is recorded on video and supplied to delegates after the workshop.

When taken as an online, instructor-led course, this training is CPD certified, meaning the learning activity has reached the required Continuing Professional Development standards and benchmarks for integrity and quality. It also holds the IFPSM: Programme Accreditation Standard (PAS) and counts as credit towards the Positive Purchasing Master Practitioner in Strategic Procurement programme.
