What you will experience

Description

Who is this program for?

Key Account Managers, Sales Managers, Business Development professionals, and other commercial leaders who negotiate with customers, partners, or external stakeholders and want to achieve stronger, more sustainable business outcomes.

Prerequisites

No formal prerequisites. The program is best suited for professionals who already participate in commercial discussions or negotiations and want to strengthen their ability to prepare, influence, create value, protect their interests, and negotiate confidently in complex business situations.

What does this program cover?

Understand your negotiation baseline

Experience a realistic negotiation before learning the frameworks, and identify your natural strengths and development opportunities.

Set your strategy

Recognize the type of negotiation you are entering, select an appropriate approach, define your objectives, develop your BATNA, and establish clear walk-away boundaries.

Build your plan

Assess the potential ZOPA, clarify your limits, prepare negotiation variables, and develop several strategic Gives & Gets.

Open purposefully

Establish credibility, frame the discussion constructively, align on the purpose and agenda, and set the right tone for the negotiation.

Diagnose what truly matters

Go beyond stated positions to uncover interests, priorities, constraints, decision criteria, and potential areas of flexibility.

Create value

Introduce multiple negotiation variables, explore different combinations, and develop potential agreements that create value for both parties.

Protect and trade value

Defend your offer, manage concessions strategically, use conditional exchanges, and obtain meaningful value in return for any movement you make.

Close and commit

Summarize the agreement accurately, check final alignment, secure explicit commitment, define clear next steps, and reinforce the relationship.

How does learning happen?

Through a highly practical blend of concise negotiation frameworks, AI-powered exercises, realistic live role-plays, instant coaching, and competency-based assessments.

Rather than simply learning about negotiation, you will repeatedly practise it, receive feedback, improve your approach, and demonstrate your skills throughout the program.
