Sharpen your contract negotiation skills and discover new tools to increase positive results.
This topic will help you to understand how negotiation strategies will differ across a relationship segmentation portfolio, and anticipate how specific negotiation concessions will impact the overall financial proposition behind a deal. There will be a discussion around the tools and talent needed, allowing you to identify the appropriate commercial skills needed for a successful negotiation and understand the commercial tools used in a successful negotiation. The information will cover some of the tactical points, such as how to develop the key tactical points in a world-class negotiation plan and then define and measure tactical success in a negotiation.
