International Negotiation Skills

Negotiating with international customers, vendors and prospects can provide countless opportunities for business professionals. The decrease in communication and productivity barriers over the past ten years has made it much easier for companies to expand operations into international territories. Yet, most negotiations on an international scale come with distinct challenges that far too many domestic-based professionals are poorly equipped to face. Varying negotiation styles, cultural differences, communication, international law, language barriers and other roadblocks can all work in concert to turn a simple negotiation into an arduous affair. Both experienced negotiators and those who are relatively new to negotiating on an international scale can benefit from communication strategies and negotiation skills to increase their effectiveness at the negotiation table. Our fast-paced yet highly informative International Negotiation Skills training workshop is designed to teach proven negotiation skills to participants while keeping the particular characteristics and challenges of working on an international scale in mind.

Regardless of whether you have to negotiate with business partners in EMEA, suppliers in Asia or customers in South America, our International Negotiation Skills class is designed to help anyone involved in international negotiations. Business professionals, government officials and association representatives will benefit from this highly interactive, two-day negotiations training course. The International Negotiations Skills training program focus on the use of principled negotiations via time-tested negotiation concepts and skills practice. This workshop teaches business professionals how to seek to build a “win-win” for all parties involved in a negotiation by focusing on common interests while strengthening relationships. Time is also spent analyzing communication styles and understanding how flexing to varying communication and negotiation styles can positively affect discussions. This highly interactive negotiation course utilizes role playing and simulation sessions, individual self-assessments, group exercises, activities, roundtable discussions and lectures to reinforce the learning process. Training modules are designed to increase skills transfer those who must negotiate internationally both internally and externally.

It is with great pleasure, but without surprise, that I send you this note to personally thank you for the "excellent and effective" Win-Win Negotiations workshop I attended in Houston last year..."
