Mastering contract negotiations professionally and confidently

This training is held in German.
Most people don't put much thought into a negotiation. Good preparation is often seen as finding as many convincing arguments as possible. However, negotiations are not won with good arguments, but with the right tactics. The Americans, for example, show us this with the Harvard concept. These methods are so good that they can easily make any negotiating partner look inferior, no matter how good his or her arguments are. In this training , each phase of a negotiation is analyzed in workshops without getting lost in unwieldy communication models. Using a professional approach, you will learn how to successfully conclude negotiations for yourself and your company - without being subject to manipulation with "dirty tricks".
