Contents (Day 1 & Day 2) 

  1. The Exploration Stage determines the seasoned Negotiator 

  • How you probe and ask questions will determine your ability to identify hidden agendas and aspirations of your opponent. 

  1. Understanding the way a person process information and the way they think 

  • Understanding oneself as well as others will enable you to better prepare at the negotiation table. You will be able to determine the areas of weaknesses of the opponent, and use them to your team’s advantage. You will be able to conclude the negotiation with perceived benefits to the other party. 

  1. Understanding signals and other non-verbal gestures 

  • Learning how to read the body language and other signals of the opponent is a valuable skill as it can cue you to knowing if the other party is telling the truth during negotiations. 

  1. Advanced communication skills 

  • Important communication skills such as listening, presenting and questioning can help you emerge victorious in the exchanges of concessions during negotiation. 

  1. How to conclude agreements that last 

  • Successful negotiation is not about you winning at the expense of the other party. It is about how to make the other party understand your side of things and how they can see benefits for themselves in the deal. A successful negotiation is one in which both parties end up win-win, and are willing to do more deals in future.
