Negotiating to Yes

Sales Leaders often look for negotiation training when margins start slipping or market timing is right to maximize value. If you want to improve profitability, compete on value rather than price, and enhance how customers perceive your services, then Negotiating to Yes™ can help. You don’t need to lower your price to win.

Negotiating to Yes™ helps salespeople become better negotiators. It is based on the concept of Principled Negotiation, a method that offers salespeople an efficient process for reaching optimal business agreements that are satisfying to both parties and strengthens professional relationships.

Increased Value. Stronger Relationships. Satisfying Outcomes.

Program Overview

Negotiating to Yes gives salespeople a proven approach for turning face-to-face confrontation into side-by-side problem solving. These skills enable win-win solutioning that leaves all parties feeling satisfied with the outcomes.
