Learn to Negotiate Like a Pro (Bay Area Consultants Network) May 22, 2009

Top negotiating skills are essential in this economy—not just to getting what you want, but to creating sustainable long-term business relationships.

There are two types of negotiations: those with people you encounter only for that transaction, such as when you buy a piece of property, and ongoing negotiations with partners like your boss or a business colleague. Each type of negotiation has different rules for success.

In this presentation, you will learn how world-class negotiators listen, formulate strategies and get what they want, while leaving others feeling good about the deal. Learn to create deep rapport instantly, even with the toughest negotiators. (Rapport is the key to superb negotiation.) We’ll show you guaranteed techniques and where to focus your negotiation partner’s attention to convince them you’re proposing a win/win arrangement.

You’ll leave with tools you can begin using immediately in your constant, day-to-day, negotiations so you can start getting more of what you want:

* Advanced rapport skills the master negotiators use themselves
* The ways safety & belonging drive negotiation
* 5 lesser-known techniques to get more than you expected when negotiating
