We live and breathe what we talk about in these sessions as we use most of the tools and techniques ourselves on a daily bases and bring this real-world experience into the session and the examples that we use.
The idea behind Negotiation is coming to an agreement or solution with another person or a group of people to come to a solution that is suitable for all parties involved.
Influencing differs in that it is about bringing people around to your way of thinking. It can be used alongside Negotiation effectively to get to a win-win outcome.
Businesses today are always looking for ways to improve their bottom line and individuals looking to save money. An extremely effective way of achieving this is having the ability to negotiate effectively and influence others.
Negotiation is fast becoming one of the most needed management skills of today’s businesses, and done effectively can save your business £1000’s through effective contract negotiations, negotiating with suppliers or negotiating with peers or colleagues.
While the 2 approaches lead to different outcomes, there is a lot of cross-over in the skillset. They also complement each other really well. Knowing how to use one approach can be hugely beneficial to the other.
