Advanced Negotiating Skills training

The Scotwork Advanced Negotiating Skills program is unique. It produces lasting behavior change, reduces poor negotiating behavior and delivers a measurable improvement to performance through intensive and enjoyable skills coaching, delivered by expert practitioners.


Our clients consistently report an average return on investment of more than ten times our fees within three months from their investment in this program.

The course provides participants with the knowledge and skills to manage complex negotiations in a professional, ethical, and competent manner, and to drive better deals for their organizations in situations where long term relationships and integrity are important. The course allows participants to:

• Understand the structure underlying all negotiations

• Identify the appropriate skills used for negotiations

• Practice these skills in a constructive learning environment; and

• Deliver a measurable improvement in performance.

The course is offered in two formats, in-house training and open (public) courses:


In-house training


With our in-house training, we work with you to select the most appropriate dates for courses, find an appropriate venue (typically off-site) and we put programs together focused around your organization's key negotiating issues and goals. We get to know your business beforehand so that the skills coaching on the program is directed toward your group's key challenges, and where necessary relates to their terminology and systems.

The program is delivered by two Scotwork consultants for up to 12 participants, to facilitate personal skills analysis. The standard timetable is intensive and fast-paced, and runs across one evening and two and a half days.

As well as providing intensive and practical negotiating skills development and an impactful change to behavior for the groups, this format provides a great team-building opportunity. We can even work with you to deliver a residential (live-in) program which gives your team even more time to discuss negotiating issues with our consultants after hours in a relaxed setting.

Contact us to discuss your organization's needs and see if this is the right option for your team.

Open (public) courses


We offer regular Open programs across the US and North America (for offices around the world click here). This format is ideal for individuals, or where it is not possible for groups of 12 members of your team to be in training in the same week, or where organizations wish to trial the program before a roll-out across the team.

Many of our participants also enjoy the opportunity to work with people from other backgrounds, roles and organizations. We only accept up to three people from each organization onto each Public course, to ensure that a diverse mix of people is represented.

These courses typically run from 6pm Monday evening through until 2pm Thursday, and are intensive, practical and fun. We take a maximum of 12 participants, so just like the in-house programs, the 6:1 participant to tutor ratio provides for plenty of personal skills analysis, and you will spend 80% of your time in practical activities.

 

A place on an Open course in the US costs $3060 plus any T&E or facility fees for the participant.
