Negotiating is something we all do every day, whether in our professional or personal lives. We negotiate with customers, suppliers, colleagues, bosses, partners, and teams, as well as with family, friends, acquaintances, and neighbours. As such, we all have a lot of negotiating experience, and we are all experienced negotiators.
But experience may not be enough to turn us into negotiators able to answer questions such as:
- In a negotiation, is it preferable to make the initial proposal or to wait for the other party’s proposal and to then make a counterproposal?
- In a situation involving several negotiating issues, is it preferable to negotiate issue by issue or to negotiate the several problems simultaneously?
- Should the party making a negotiating proposal present the proposal and then justify it, or on the contrary, present the reasons first and only then the proposal?
- What should be done when difficulties increase, and situations become more challenging? How do we negotiate at a disadvantage?
- How should complex and time-consuming negotiations be handled?
- How should we react when the number of stakeholders around the negotiating table increases considerably?
Thus, negotiating goes beyond mere negotiating experience (knowing what worked in the past), making essential a specialization in negotiation (knowing why it worked) to overcome obstacles and achieve excellent negotiating results.
The Intensive Negotiation Program responds to these challenges, ensuring thorough training in advanced negotiation and providing tools for practical application.
