Businesses today are always looking for ways to improve their bottom line and individuals looking to save money.  An extremely effective way of achieving this is having the ability to Negotiate effectively and influence others.

Negotiation is fast becoming one of the most needed management skills of today’s businesses, and done effectively can save business £1000?s through effective contract negotiations, negotiating with suppliers or negotiating with peers or colleagues.

The idea behind Negotiation is coming to an agreement with another person or a group of people to come to a solution that is suitable for both people.  Doing this off the cuff can be difficult, preparation is a must and having a process or methodology to follow will also help.

Influencing differs in that it is about bringing people around to your way of thinking.  It can be used alongside Negotiation effectively to get to a win win outcome.

This course looks at the skills, behaviours and tactics necessary to get to this win-win situation.

By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

• Demonstrate an increased understanding and awareness of what negotiation and influencing is

• Understand the skills required to Influence effectively to bring people around to your way of thinking
