Negotiation – Red Sheet Lite

This negotiation training course is based on the Red Sheet® Lite process and includes essential negotiation planning with extensive practical training, including a full role play. It provides winning approaches for everyday professional or one-on-one negotiation planning and helps those who attend to build the confidence and capability to negotiate with ease.

The course takes delegates through the fundamentals of negotiation. It includes determining the requirements for a negotiation and developing a concession strategy. The different sources of power in negotiation are explored and delegates learn how to structure and plan for the negotiation meeting including setting target outcomes and planning the sequence of interactions needed to secure the
required outcome.

This course will enable delegates to secure better outcomes from their negotiations, to be more in control of the negotiation process and have greater confidence along the way. It is highly practical and features extensive coverage of the tactics and techniques that can help in a negotiation as well as body language and verbal language.

During these highly interactive sessions, delegates get to witness first hand some of the winning approaches and even try putting some into practice. The course culminates in a simple team-based role play with immediate feedback. Delegates get to put what they have learned into practice in a safe environment.

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.
