Sales Negotiation Course
Course Aim
Our sales negotiation training will equip you with the techniques and strategies to be able to handle discount enquiries more effectively as well as negotiate the terms and conditions of the deal, so you protect your margins a lot better.
We can run this as a 1-day, or a 2-day negotiation sales course based on your requirements and level of customisation. Either way, you’ll understand the strategies behind successful sales bargaining and the dance that we often must play with our prospective customers.
The course covers crucial aspects of effective sales negotiation like how to set objectives, planning and preparing effectively, comprehending value differentiation, and how to determine your ideal outcome.
It distinguishes between selling and negotiating, explores key negotiation skills, identifies various negotiation styles, and underscores the importance of collaborative win-win negotiations.
