Partnership Negotiation Skills

One of the most effective ways for an organization to strengthen their ability to perform successfully in today’s challenging business environment is to build partnerships with companies that offer complementary products and services or have similar goals and values. Since most organizations can’t afford to stretch resources to handle all aspects of running a business, well-planned partnerships can provide a company with extended sales forces, a larger reach, trusted supply lines or value added offerings. Partnerships can provide wonderful benefits but they must first be established on sound footing. Initial discussions and negotiations often spell the difference between long-term successful partnerships and hastily assembled “marriages of convenience”. Our Partnership Negotiation Skills seminar is a comprehensive training workshop designed to strengthen the negotiations skills of participants who must recruit partners and build fruitful long-term relationships.

The Partnership Negotiation Skills training workshop focuses on the ability to understand and utilize principled negotiations skills via repeated practice and the most effective training concepts in the industry. Focused on the theory of “Win-Win” negotiations that seek to build a positive and rewarding outcome for both parties, our negotiation skills training workshop teaches participants how to focus on common interests when establishing relationships and working to build a mutually beneficial partnership. This hands-on negotiations training workshop makes use of role playing, group discussions, exercises, personal assessments and lectures to reinforce skills transfer. An emphasis is placed on every stage of partnership negotiations – from the early phases to the signing of a contract. Our negotiations training seminar teaches participants to be prepared to lead any partnership negotiation situation, regardless of size or complexity. Activities are designed to ensure skills usage and transfer. As a result of attending this workshop, participants will be able to start negotiations on the right foot by seeking to build rewarding relationships that will benefit all parties involved.

  • Place greater emphasis on planning and strategy

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your training in Negotiations! It defiantly came in handy in a recent meeting I had....in brief:

The Leaburg Community Center/Gymnasium is located in the Mckenzie Valley in the small town of Leaburg. It was built and has been apart of this community since 1931. The property it sits on (and the building itself) is owned by the local volunteer fire department. The building is contracted to the community center for rentals and maintenance. The property is several acres and also holds the current fire station. There has been a LONG time battle between the community and the fire department board regarding this center. The fire department has wanted to expand the current fire station for years. Recently, they received special funding to do just that but at the cost of losing the community center. This people of this community have very strong emotional ties to the building and have taken on the fight to save the center! Although the building is in need of major repairs, as pointed out by the fire dept board, the community center board has researched and found feasible funding to accomplish these repairs with grants. The problem then was that the fire dept board (the owners) have to sign off the grants to start repairs. As this is not what they had wanted, they stalled. They requested every document proofing non profit status, insurance coverage, and insisted on a structural inspection. The community center board thought that by complying with all requests with no questions we would eventually win. But, this is not the case. We have come to a stand off with neither side giving in. Finally, at our last meeting with the fire board I used your strategies to make a proposal that would hopefully end, not only the tension between the fire dept and the community but resolve this issue so that is benefits both sides. I used the if/then strategic and proposed that if the fire dept board would incorporate a community "room/gymnasium" in there plans for expansion and allow the community center board to rent the room under a long term contract, then we would allow the current building to revert back to the fire dept. This was met with surprising enthusiasm as a final overdue ending to a long standing dispute.

Thank you!
