Course Description

The most common mistake when walking into negotiations is to lack proper preparation and a clear roadmap. In the business context, this could lead to harmful outcomes, including destroying the relationship and losing money or assets. This course will teach you how to handle negotiations effectively. You will learn how to determine a BATNA, or best alternative to a negotiated agreement, set a reservation point, and make the best use of the bargaining range. By the end of the negotiation training, you will be able to assess the other party and expand the value for both sides. We will discuss topics like building trust and repairing it when it’s broken, as well as handling aggressive and unfair negotiators.
