Overview
The PD Training Negotiation Skills Training Course provides you with practical negotiation techniques that you can use in many contexts and situations. Our negotiation training course is run more like a workshop where you are taught the theory, then break out and work in pairs or small teams to practice the negotiation skills that are relevant to your needs.
In this Negotiation Skills Training course you will learn the theory and get the opportunity to apply it to scenarios that suit your specific needs. Learn key skills like how to lay the groundwork for a successful negotiation outcome, choosing preferred locations, identifying the key points you're willing to concede and when to walk away from the bargaining table.
