Mastering contract negotiations professionally and confidently
Strategies and tactics for your negotiation success
This training is held in German.
Sound preparation is crucial for successful negotiations - yet its importance is often underestimated. Instead of focusing solely on arguments, strategic tactics are needed to steer the outcome of negotiations in a targeted manner.
This training teaches proven methods such as the Harvard concept, which make it possible to conduct successful negotiations even against strong argumentation partners. Each phase of a negotiation is analyzed in practical workshops and supplemented with professional approaches, without being limited to theoretical communication models.
The aim of the seminar is to conclude negotiations confidently, to recognize manipulative "dirty tricks" and not to be influenced by them. Participants will learn practical strategies to present themselves confidently and convincingly in any negotiation situation.
