Negotiating Value

The principles that guide negotiations must be singularly focused on producing win-win solutions. No other option is acceptable. Trust and distrust are removed from the equation by using criteria for selecting an outcome based on mutually acceptable standards to define value.

Using real life work situations, the participants will develop a case study of an actual situation requiring negotiation. The program will provide tools to successfully negotiate to a win for both parties, insuring fair margins and future opportunities.
