Negotiation training

Our negotiation training programmes help organisations to establish more profitable deals and develop business relationships of the highest calibre.

Improving margins is tough. On one side, sales teams can find it difficult to add value in increasingly commoditised markets, and on the other, procurement professionals are looking to extract even more percentage points from their supplier base.

Both Sales and Procurement need to negotiate effectively across a range of increasingly complex business scenarios. By learning the skills to do this to the highest standards, margins can increase.

Through our negotiation training programmes, Huthwaite helps many of the world’s largest organisations to adopt proven negotiation strategy and best practice which result in more profitable and longer-term relationships.

Essential training for: Procurement, Sales and all functions where negotiations take place. Your people might be involved in highly complex, set-piece negotiations or, negotiate relatively often but around smaller issues as part of their daily business life. We offer two different negotiation training programmes, to meet either set of needs.
