Contract Negotiation Skills

Whether navigating everyday life or thrashing out a high powered deal, strong negotiation skills are the key to success.  

This course will also teach you the key fundamentals of being a good negotiator and securing the best deals, whether you are buying a car or securing a complicated television deal for Formula 1.

This course will draw on the tutor’s wealth of experience in doing both simple and complex deals during his career in the sport and media industry.  

Covering the tricks of the trade, as well as what to watch out for from the other side, the course will demonstrate that negotiation does not have to be confrontational and that a good deal should benefit both parties.  

The course will teach participants how to negotiate to get the best possible deal in the most effective manner. It will outline best practice theory and reinforce it with internationally proven class exercises and case studies.

Improving your negotiation skills will deliver quantifiable value to both your organisation and to you personally.

Anyone whose job includes negotiating this includes those that buy/procure and sell as part of their jobs. If you could save even 1% on your costs, or add 1% to your revenues, what kind of difference would that make to your organisation’s bottom line?

This course develops the key skills you need to advance your career.
