How did you prepare for your last important negotiation?


Be honest: Was there enough time to prepare? Did you think through all the imponderables beforehand? Are you sure that you achieved the best negotiation result?


Even fundamental strategic business decisions are rarely prepared in the best possible way, as we know from numerous examples in companies. A 'costly' undertaking, as we also know. "Anyone can negotiate, or I've been doing it for years," is anchored in many people's minds.


However, game theory, mechanism design, auction and negotiation theory, and behavioral economics are scientific disciplines whose application must be trained in practice in order to achieve the best results.


How do you systematize negotiations in purchasing and sales? What are tried and tested models? How can I break down the most difficult negotiating positions to my own advantage? How can I best prepare for a negotiation?


These are precisely the questions that are part of our training - practice-oriented by proven negotiation professionals who spend most of their time in top negotiations for our customers. Together as a team, we train for practical situations. As an in-house training event at your company, with us in Düsseldorf or Vienna, or any other location of your choice.
