Negotiation Skills Course Programme
Negotiation and the Negotiator
Lots of people have very different ideas about negotiation and the skills and qualities a good negotiator needs. We start by exploring those ideas, looking at how each individual currently handles negotiations and the qualities they bring.

Negotiation Preparation
We look at what preparation is appropriate for different negotiating situations, looking at the purpose, the desired outcomes on both sides, who will be there and what is known about them, including interests and positions of all parties. We highlight the difference between an interest and a position and why it’s important to separate them.

Qualifying Negotiations
This simple and effective technique puts a little structure around the ’gut feeling’ we have about a negotiation so we can decide whether we should be in the negotiating arena at all.

Baseline - Negotiable - Give Away
This exercise is about working out what can be given away and what can’t. The stuff in between is the real meat of the negotiation.

Building Rapport
In the opening phase of a negotiation it is vital to establish rapport with the other party. We look at ways of making people feel at ease and comfortable so that the negotiation works on a human level.

Their World of Negotiation
Building on the idea of preparation we will use a set of visuals to look in more detail at the idea that everyone sees the world differently. The others involved in a negotiation may well be taking a very different point of view and neither side may feel like ’giving in’.

Their level of interest
There are different levels of benefits to be offered or gained in any negotiation. Knowing the buttons to press on your counterpart can be a useful tool.

Understanding the Rules of Negotiation
Our approach to good negotiation isn’t about winning and someone else losing. It is, however, about learning to ’play the game’, because that’s what negotiation is - a game. And like any game there are rules and conventions. We help people explore their own rules and beliefs about negotiation and how they either support or get in the way of success.

Negotiation Roles
People take on roles when they negotiate, whether it’s conscious or unconscious and sometimes they can get in the way of good negotiations. Here we introduce the technique of ’levelling’ where people practise giving clear, direct messages that cut through the games people play.

Types of Negotiation Question
A quick exercise that looks at all the different sorts of questions we can use in a negotiation and the effect they have.

Winning outcomes
Negotiations can often feel like a fight with one side winning and the other necessarily losing. But does it have to be like that? We take a look at some other options and the effect of each over a period of time.

Deal or No Deal
The pressure in a negotiation to come away with some sort of deal can be immense. Here we explore in groups the circumstances under which it might be better to say ’no deal’.

Buying Signals
In pairs delegates come up with the indicators they recognise that someone may be ready to do a deal in a negotiation.

The Negotiation Game
Here we will set up a negotiation, where one group is the ’home team’ and the other the client. Both sides decide their position and strategy and what they want from the negotiation, and with some guidance from Impact Factory, will play out a negotiation till it reaches a resolution.

The purpose is to get people familiar with some of the tools, roles and protocols around the idea that negotiation is indeed a game.

Awareness of Personal Negotiation Style
To round off the Negotiation Skills Course delegates give and receive feedback on their personal negotiation style and what is already working for them as a negotiator.
