Clever Negotiating

All the books you’ve ever read on riding a bicycle can’t match the experience of actually riding a bike.

Negotiating is the same.

Clever negotiating is about knowing how to balance what both parties might want, experiencing the tactics, knowing how to prepare strategy, and knowing how to control the negotiating process so you generate the outcome you want.

Two Types of Negotiating Training

Not all negotiations are huge exhausting meetings. Most negotiation is ad hoc, by phone, a quick encounter, a sudden demand from a peer, boss or a client. Smarter Selling Clever Negotiation gives you first-hand experience to generate confidence in these “any way” experiences as much as the workshop generates control in a longer-planned negotiation.

Clever Negotiation Is Not Win/Lose—It’s About Relationships

Negotiation starts with the relationship you want with the other party when it’s all over.

It’s not about win/lose, it’s not about conceding and giving in. Nor does Clever Negotiation just deal with the tactics that get what you want and leave an embittered client. This workshop is practical behaviours giving you the confidence to plan your way, control the price regardless of the tension you might feel, and trade your way to a controlled outcome.

An Easy to Use Guide

Smarter Selling Clever Negotiation is based on an easy to use template to guide you through planning any negotiation.

The day is filled with the most common tactics people use today and practical counters for you to practice.

We take a close look at personality differences and learn the common tactics favoured by each type – and practice those too.

Learn At Your Own Pace – Without Being Exposed.

Nobody is exposed. We don’t put a spotlight on you, make you negotiate, then highlight all the things you did or didn’t do well—nobody learns that way.

We use small, group practical behaviour experiments so you find your particular strength and play to that…Clever Negotiating is about just that—your comfortable business behaviours giving you control.
