Effective Negotiating®

Successful people are successful negotiators – bottom line. But what does that look like, and where do you start if you're looking to improve your own skills?

The Minneapolis negotiating training course will teach you:

  1. What makes a good negotiator
  2. How to make a game plan and stick to it
  3. How to use hidden leverage to your advantage
  4. How expectations affect outcomes
  5. How to prevent the dreaded Nibble
  6. How to guard against negotiating tricks
  7. And much, much more.

This results-based seminar is facilitated by negotiations experts, and incorporates a combination of classroom style and peer-to-peer learning. Participants will engage in peer role plays, mock negotiation sessions, case study analysis and more, with dialogue throughout the two-day experience. You'll have the opportunity to put new skills to use immediately, and there are many opportunities for networking with locals in Minneapolis and self-discovery along the way.
