EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION SKILLS

Course Overview

Material

Duration in days

Introduction:

The ability to be a good negotiator is an essential skill in business. Most of us negotiate several times a day without realizing it. This is normally on an informal basis and we become very good at negotiating. However, when we negotiate in a formal or business setting, we often find this experience quite stressful. As a consequence, we lose confidence in our ability to negotiate and this negatively affects our ability to get what we want. This course will help delegates to gain the confidence and skills to negotiate effectively in both formal and informal settings.

This course will help delegates to understand not only the importance of customer service to the company, but also to them as an employee. The course will further help delegates to develop the skills to deal effectively and warmly with customers.
