What we hear before we start

Our team gives away concessions too early and too easily.

Tough negotiators and pressure tactics throw our people off balance.

Negotiating in English or across cultures feels like a disadvantage.

What changes

What your people take away

Thorough preparation

Participants define goals, limits and alternatives before the meeting instead of improvising at the table.

Interests over positions

Negotiators uncover what the other side really needs and find solutions that work for both.

Composure under pressure

People recognise common tactics and respond calmly instead of reacting emotionally.

Smarter concessions

Every concession is planned, traded for something in return and clearly communicated.

Confident in English

Participants master the phrases and tone needed to negotiate firmly and politely in English.

Cultural awareness

Negotiators adapt their approach to partners from different business cultures.

Questions and answers

Will we practise with our own cases?

Yes. We build the role plays around your typical negotiations, whether with suppliers, customers or internal stakeholders, so the practice feels real and transfers directly.

Is the video feedback uncomfortable?

Most participants find it the most valuable part. Feedback is constructive and confidential, and recordings are only used within the training.

Can the training be held in English?

Yes. We run negotiation training in English, German or Spanish, and include the language skills needed to negotiate confidently in English.

Can you help us prepare a real negotiation?

Yes. Alongside group training, we offer focused coaching to prepare a specific negotiation, including strategy, arguments and rehearsal.
