The Beginner’s Guide to Business Negotiation

Course Overview

Negotiation is one of life’s most essential skills. Every life stage is, essentially, a negotiation – the boundaries agreed with our parents as children; what to study; where to live; what career to pursue; how to balance work and our personal lives; and so on.   Negotiation is an inherent skill, but it is also one we can develop to become more effective and achieve better outcomes for ourselves, our family, our community, and our organization.   Understanding the drivers of success in negotiation can significantly boost your effectiveness. It's not just about reaching a beneficial agreement, but also about influencing others and building trust. By understanding the drivers of success in negotiation, and mastering key techniques, we can significantly enhance our persuasiveness and our ability to deliver results for ourselves and others.  This course is primarily about business negotiation and building confidence in your ability to negotiate effectively. But these skills can be applied in life too. The course presents the tools, structure and influencing skills essential for successful negotiation. We will explore the elements of influence, the effect of personality on negotiation styles, and the key drivers that lead to successful outcomes. We will also equip you with techniques to build trust, navigate through deadlocks, and conduct effective follow-ups post-negotiation.  "The Beginner’s Guide to Business Negotiation" offers insights into the art of negotiation, providing you with the tools and strategies necessary for achieving successful agreement
