In this training, you’ll learn how to negotiate calmly even under pressure and pursue your goals more consistently. We’ll show you how to recognize manipulative or power-oriented tactics—such as time pressure or bluffing—early on and respond to them professionally.

This will allow you to approach negotiations with greater flexibility and achieve better results.

This training focuses on practical application. You’ll work with specific negotiation scenarios from everyday sales situations and develop solutions for real-world challenges. Through discussions, exercises, and reflections, we’ll show you how to apply and refine negotiation strategies in a targeted manner. You’ll also learn how to effectively integrate artificial intelligence into your negotiation preparation. Personal feedback from the trainer will provide you with additional insights for your personal development.
