Do you believe that contracts are “take it or leave it”? Are you afraid to ask for changes in an agreement because you fear the entire deal will fall through? What do you do when they say, “You have to sign this today, or we’ll miss an important deadline”? How should you respond if someone says “if you want a written agreement that means you don’t trust me”?
These are very common concerns that hold back many people from getting a fair agreement. Agreeing to terms that you are not comfortable with, or feeling that you gave away too much can undermine the strength of the business relationship and undermine your confidence, not to mention your profit margin.
This workshop will teach you to enjoy negotiating agreements! You will learn how to ask for changes, and how to evaluate the risks and benefits of proposed changes and alternatives. You will learn the value of negotiations to understand another’s other business method, and to communicate your expectations about the arrangement. Just think, if you don’t feel comfortable requesting a change in a provision now, how are you going to feel about dealing with more difficult issues such as payment later on? Importantly, this workshop will show you how, through negotiating, you establish a basis for future communication and problem solving.
This workshop is designed for 10 people. There is significant group interaction and role-play. The workshop will teach you basic negotiation skills, and then you will apply and refine the skills throughout the workshop by negotiating prepared scenarios and observing others negotiate. Importantly, this workshop will help you develop your skills within your personal communication style so it fits and feels natural for you. Even if you are a conflict-avoider, this workshop will help you!
