Course Description

In the world of business, you don't always get what you deserve, and you certainly don’t always get what you want. What you actually wind up with is what you negotiate!
 
Maybe that’s one way to explain why so many people are unhappy in their current circumstances--because they were basically unequipped at the negotiation table. That doesn’t have to be the case in your scenario!
 
Think of the multitude of situations where savvy negotiating skills can pay off...
  • Solidifying a job offer
  • Negotiating a raise or promotion
  • Buying a new or used car
  • Purchasing a home or investment property
  • Hashing out the stipulations of a new contract
  • Bidding on a promising proposal or
  • Even haggling at the market or over the phone
Unfortunately, though, too many people--in the personal and professional arenas--are too intimidated and overwhelmed by the process of successful negotiations that they let their fear prevent them from making any progress!
 
Don't let this happen to you!
 
This course will provide you with all of the tips and tools that you’ll need in order to become quite accomplished at finding the perfect "middle ground" in each and every deal that comes your way. Whether you’re typically an overachiever or an underachiever in the negotiating room, you'll have all that you need to iron out those wrinkles and smooth your way to success.
 
Quit procrastinating and join us today to make getting what you deserve and getting what you negotiate one and the same!

Editorial Review

Negotiation just comes naturally to some people. They seem to be blessed with a natural ability to foster conciliation, compromise and agreement. They seem to seek out any opportunity that they can find in order to advance their positions.
 
Others of us, however, struggle with the very notion of sitting down at the negotiation table. They literally run away from the idea. Of course, willingness isn’t the only thing.
 
There are plenty of people who come across too aggressively when it’s time to hash things out, and despite their drive, still somehow manage to muss things up due to a lack of understanding of the "subtle nuances" negotiation communications entail.
 
Not anymore! At the end of this class, you'll have completed a total of ten comprehensive lessons:

Lesson 1:
Negotiation Basics

Lesson 2: The Importance of Knowledge and Information for Negotiating Well

Lesson 3: Common Negotiating Mistakes

Lesson 4: Using Trust, Human Behavior & Psychology for Better Negotiations

Lesson 5: Win/Win Negotiation

Lesson 6: The Ethics of Negotiation

...where each lesson is designed around six important sections:
  • An introduction and summary of what you’ll cover
