Effective sales negotiation can save money and materially improve a company’s profitability. If best practices can be replicated across your sales team, the combined benefits can be enormous.
This course seeks to develop a win-win negotiating approach, based on building a trading relationship with your customers, replacing an over-reliance on discounting and other concessions.
Sales Negotiation Skills is a workshop for all business people wishing to improve their techniques and outcomes when negotiating with clients.
