Who needs negotiation skills training and negotiation education? The answer is simple – all of us need to improve our negotiation skills – not just those individuals involved in contract negotiations. We are negotiating all the time – in our personal and social lives, and especially in our business lives. Every time we communicate with another person, there is the potential to be negotiating. Negotiating is an essential life skill – not just a skill used in commercial applications. People who work in various senior management, sales, purchasing, procurement, legal, contract, and supply chain management positions can all benefit from customized negotiation skills training.
In today's increasingly complex and competitive marketplace, effective negotiating is the key to personal and organizational success. There is no such thing as a "born negotiator"; some people may possess a natural ability for negotiating, but the process, methodology, strategies, and tactics of effective negotiations are taught.

Why improving negotiation skills is important. Having proven negotiation skills training provides you with a competitive advantage in sales negotiations, purchasing negotiations, procurement negotiations, legal negotiations, contract negotiations, supply chain negotiations and much more.
Are members of your organization or association intimidated by the negotiation process? Do they have a proven negotiating process, as well as negotiation training, experience, expertise, and the negotiation skills to negotiate a Win-Win outcome?
If members of your organization or association aren't better negotiators than their counterparts, then they are probably making more concessions than they need to, thus leaving hard-earned money or value on the table – money that your organization can use to expand operations ... invest in marketing and sales to capture a larger market share ... increase shareholder dividends and employee benefits ... and potentially strengthen its financial security.
Customers, strategic accounts, and clients may have significant market power – and they may use their "situational power" during their contract negotiations with their suppliers. Customers have invested in honing their employees' negotiation skills, thus making your salespeople work harder (and getting salespeople to make costly concessions and include "extras") for what is often not a mutually beneficial Win-Win outcome. Customers are effectively using the request for quote, request for proposal, request for information, tender, and bidding process to their advantage – making sellers believe it is an "all or nothing" process – so there is no way they can influence the outcome since price is considered the only decision-making criterion.
Some suppliers have developed a "take it or leave it" attitude. With the ongoing consolidation of companies in many industries, purchasing and procurement personnel and contract managers are seemingly left with no choice but to give in to the terms and conditions imposed by some suppliers.
Competitors are becoming much more sophisticated and advanced in their approach to negotiations. They are becoming savvier at negotiating, cutting undisciplined deals that give them bigger gross sales revenue and securing large pieces of business through multiple-year, exclusive supply agreements and contracts.
Understanding the full value of what your organization has to offer and how to best represent that value is critical to profitability and arriving at your desired result. With Michael E. Sloopka's and negotiatingcoach.com®'s teaching and coaching expertise, members of your organization will learn to negotiate based on true value – and they willcontinue to benefit from this lasting knowledge long after the negotiations have concluded.
