The Psychology of Negotiation: Getting to Yes - Faster!
Speaker: Stephen Kozicki
We live in interesting times, competition is increasing at breakneck speeds, supply is overtaking demand and we see commoditisation of products and services. You are required by your organisation to produce results, quicker and better than last quarter.
In today's turbulent world, prospects need fast solutions and your key clients cannot support long-term suppliers purely on long-term relationships. So, when negotiating with key customers you need to concentrate on value creation for your customers and how your products or services deliver measurable results.
“Just got my copy of The Creative Negotiator. The book is impressive. I finally have a book to recommend when someone says they want to master negotiation.”
Negotiation in today's commercial context is demanding, complex and vital to the success of your business. Negotiation skills are a core competency of every successful team member. It is the avenue to sustainable business growth, cohesive teams, strong business relationships and commercial conflict resolution.
You will negotiate with more clients/prospects in the next 12 months than you have in the last five years, you must be agile to succeed as a negotiator.
The world of B2B is changing, and changing fast, characterised by turbulence, shifting regulations, evolving technology and economic uncertainty. The fiercely competitive climate and the rapidly shifting business models are challenging the foundations of many companies and businesses. The financial performance and economic viability of many corporations are at stake.
So, each entrepreneur, executive, manager and negotiator needs to be agile in response to these economic and competitive drivers.
Negotiating at global-best-practice is a skill that can be learned and practiced to achieve required outcomes. When individuals and organisations understand how to negotiate well, they can achieve the best results in every situation regardless of the country or culture.
If you are looking to advance the skills of your organisation in complex situations then this session is a must, attendees will learn how to move from a good negotiator to a great negotiator. We will look at your competitive edge through the lens of value, and discover how value-creating opportunities can be used in negotiation to move the discussion away from price.
“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
This keynote utilises international research to demonstrate how managers can effectively influence and negotiate to achieve and sustain results beyond the ability of their competitors.
The session will be highly interactive, challenging you with live examples on how you can apply the framework to your deals.
Stephen Kozicki, a leading Australian author, and business educator, who is a specialist in the field of business development, is the presenter of this keynote. He has consulted on live negotiations with clients in the USA, Asia, and Europe over the past 25 years.
