Effective Negotiating®

In today's interconnected world, there's no denying that negotiating is a key skill that some of the most successful people in the world possess. So how do you go about becoming a better negotiator and applying those skills to increase your own success?

The Detroit negotiating training course will teach you:

  1. How to deal with deadlocks and stalls
  2. The difference between long-term relationships and one-time deals
  3. How preparation affects negotiating outcomes
  4. The sources and limits of buyer/seller power
  5. How to prevent the dreaded Nibble
  6. The DNA of an effective negotiator
  7. And much, much more.

The seminar is taught in an approachable and easy-to-digest manner by our world-class negotiations experts. Complex topics are distilled down to everyday language and presented in a classroom-style format. You'll engage in negotiation dialogues, peer-to-peer role-plays, and mock negotiating sessions, with ample networking opportunities along the way.

Detroit participants will also learn how finding 'Both-Win®' negotiating opportunities can create more value for both parties and, ultimately, a better deal – once you know where to look for them.

This Detroit negotiation seminar is for you if you:

  1. Are new to negotiations or looking for a refresher of the fundamentals
  2. Work closely with external stakeholders and partners
  3. Want to improve your conflict resolution skills
  4. Lead a team of employees
  5. Are interested in improving your negotiating skills in business and life

Attendees receive a valuable set of take-home materials that cover topics not discussed in the two-day program, including the Effective Negotiating® Workbook, online access to over three hours of streaming audio, and two of Dr. Karrass's bestselling books: Give and Take: The Complete Guide to Negotiating Strategies and Tactics and In Business As In Life – You Don't Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Negotiate.

Effective Negotiating Ⅱ®

Many people dread negotiation, not recognizing that they negotiate on a regular basis. Most of us face formal negotiations throughout our personal and professional lives: discussing the terms of a job offer with a recruiter; haggling over the price of a new car; working through a contract with a supplier. Negotiating is an important skill that helps us navigate the world around us; yet few people take the time to thoroughly understand it.

A perfect complement to the original Effective Negotiating® Seminar, KARRASS's Effective Negotiating II combines current research with timeless negotiations strategies in an intensive, highly informative, and activity-packed one-day program in Detroit, Michigan.

KARRASS's Effective Negotiating Ⅱ® will teach you to:

  1. Identify the Four Stages of negotiation.
  2. Think like the other party.
  3. Maintain the upper hand under pressure.
  4. Collaborate to create partners instead of opponents.
  5. Identify Both-Win® opportunities that result in mutual satisfaction.
  6. Use the concept of BATNA to your advantage.
  7. Prepare thoroughly to maximize your results.
  8. And much more.

This Detroit negotiation skills seminar is for you if you're looking to:

  1. Further develop your negotiating confidence.
  2. Improve your ability to 'close the deal' in a long-lasting way.
  3. Expand your career to include more complex or high-value negotiations.
  4. Move beyond what you learned in the original Effective Negotiating®seminar.

Through interactive cases, peer-to-peer role play, and group discussion, you will gain a deeper understanding of the negotiation process. The classroom-style seminar is facilitated by best-in-class negotiations experts, and provides opportunity for networking a self-discovery along the way.

Let KARRASS help you get what you deserve through a smart, skilled approach to negotiation.
