A quick introduction

What Negotiation Skills actually changes

Discounting is usually a symptom of a value conversation that never happened. This module builds the preparation and trading discipline that protects price.

Trade, concede and protect margin without damaging the relationship or the next renewal.

The problem

Why teams ask for this module

  • Discounts are given before the buyer even asks, to protect the close.
  • Procurement enters late and resets terms the seller already agreed.
  • Concessions are handed over one-way instead of traded for something.

Who it's for

Programme modules

Inside Negotiation Skills

Every section is rebuilt around your buyer, deal cycle and objections before delivery.

01

Negotiation preparation

Know your trades, limits and walk-away before the meeting.

02

Handling price pressure

Respond to discount demands without instant concession.

03

Trading, not conceding

Every give has an ask attached to it.

04

Closing the agreement

Lock terms cleanly so nothing reopens later.

Learning methodology

How the module is delivered

Short input, heavy practice, then reinforcement so behaviour survives the quarter.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Call listening and manager interviews before we design anything.

  2. 02

    Customise

    Your buyers, objections and deals become the case material.

  3. 03

    Practise

    Live practice with feedback, not lecture and slides.

  4. 04

    Reinforce

    Manager clinics and follow-up sessions to lock in the habit.
