Negotiation Strategy

The course aims to create and develop negotiation skills in executives who often, for purely technical academic education or business role held, have not had the opportunity to develop sufficiently.

In particular, the course is focused on the dynamics of negotiations related to the areas of greatest relevance for executives, such as:

  •  carry out promotion and marketing of the company and its services, increasing the impact on the market;
  • apply a Clients approach strategy   that allows to represent in a simple and effective way what the company is able to offer;
  • learn to interpret adequately the needs, even implicit, of the Customer;
  • identify potential new business opportunities in different markets and in services beyond those offered so far;
  • develop vision and entrepreneurial approach;
  • improve the capacity of proposal and negotiation with the customer;

 

To provide more effective learning, the course includes several moments of business games with simulation of real cases.
