NEGOTIATION SKILLS

DISTANT LEARNING COURSE

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

“Negotiation and discussions are the greatest weapons we have for promoting peace and development.” – Nelson Mandela

Anticipating what others may say or ask gives the person the critical advantage at transacting any business and professional deal. Negotiation experts have said that life itself is just one continuous negotiation sequence. Whether you are at work involved in a variety of professional issues or at home indulged with personal issues, being skillful as a negotiator is essential to your success. Once a person obtains a better understanding of the various analysis techniques or tools available to use in the development of his or her negotiation range, he/she will be better prepared to develop a strategy for the upcoming negotiations!

This program will address some of the negotiation techniques and strategies in the modern business climate. It will allow delegates to reach a mutually satisfactory result on a matter of common concerns. Delegates will be able to examine how a mutually satisfactory result is vital, because even though the parties may have opposing interest, they are dependent on each other. The delegates as a result will be equipped with practical negotiation skills that will help them in building long-terms results.

During the program delegates will understand that the art of making a deal is through persuasion rather than enforcement, and the skill is in making the other person your friend, rather than your enemy. They will be able to see that Negotiation is the art of choosing the right strategy for each situation, painting the right business picture, projecting the right personal image, doing the right research, offering the right inducement, applying the right pressure at the right time, asking the right questions and demanding the right extras.

“Remember, in business you get what you negotiate, not necessarily what you deserve”
