"The Win-Win Negotiations Training course was just excellent. I really enjoyed the lecture that was given and In the future I will implement all the skills I learned. The class was very simulating, especially the part where we were doing role play. "

"During the Win-Win Negotiations Training course I enjoyed the role playing. The speech on the preparation for negotiations was very educational and useful. I learned how to adjust to different personalities and use that information to my advantage. This class was very insightful and I learned a lot about myself as well. "

"My Opinion on the Win-Win Negotiations Training course is that they did a very good job teaching and keeping everyone on their toes. It really gave me another perspective on the different types of negotiations. I was given more strategic advice on how to plan your negotiations, to write down all your issues, and to understand the other side’s position. "

"During the Win-Win Negotiations Training course I really liked how the teacher taught us how to determine the type of negotiating personalities we all have. Some of the skills I enjoyed learning about were how to plan thoroughly prior to negotiations, and to “think” more. "

"My favorite part of the Win-Win Negotiations Training course was the actual negotiations with the group. I believe the teacher really knew the information well; he did a very good job explaining it to the group and getting everyone involved. "

"I did enjoy the class. I liked how it got into the tactics people use in negotiation, as well as different strategies to employ in negotiation.
There were 4 role plays over the 2 day class... The main lesson I took was to make sure you do your homework! Which I know sounds pretty basic, but a large part of the training was about asking questions and making sure you have as much information as possible. By asking questions, you are also helping to establish a relationship and gain an understanding on where the other party is coming from. It also takes the focus off of being positional and back on the issue at hand."

"All too often, we participate in workshops, seminars and the like and walk away closing the door behind us wondering what value could ever come out of the days we just wasted. It is with great pleasure, but without surprise, that I send you this note to personally thank you for the "excellent and effective" Win-Win Negotiations workshop I attended in Houston last year..."

International Negotiation Skills
Negotiating with international customers, vendors and prospects can provide countless opportunities for business professionals. The decrease in communication and productivity barriers over the past ten years has made it much easier for companies to expand operations into international territories. Yet, most negotiations on an international scale come with distinct challenges that far too many domestic-based professionals are poorly equipped to face. Varying negotiation styles, cultural differences, communication, international law, language barriers and other roadblocks can all work in concert to turn a simple negotiation into an arduous affair.
