Are you finding your customers\, clients\, employees or boss or employers increasingly demanding\, wanting more for less? Do you ever feel that you are being taken advantage of?

In this seminar you will learn a proven\, practical step-by-step approach to win-win negotiations and how to protect yourself from “hardball” negotiators.\n\nTopics to be covered:\n\nThe most common negotiating mistakes people make and how to avoid them\nUnderstanding the difference between Collaborative “win-win” and Competitive “hardball” negotiations and how to know what game you are playing\nThe characteristics of highly effective negotiators\nUnderstanding the different sources of negotiating power\nHow to strengthen your bargaining position\nHow to create an open communication flow that allows you to deeply understand the other party\nThe 5 steps process to quickly and effectively plan and prepare for your negotiations\nHow to determine your “walk-away point”\nHow to defend yourself against “hardball’ negotiators\nHow to counter the 5 common manipulative strategies being used against you\nHow to create win – win outcomes that ensure the other party lives up to their end of the bargain\n\nInstructor: Greg Campeau has delivered over 2400 presentations and workshops throughout North America providing strategies and solutions that support both personal and organizational success.
