Getting inside the other person's head

Experience and research confirms that it is only by getting inside the other person's head that you can hope to negotiate effectively.

The Gap Partnership

Complete Skilled Negotiator

Overview

This workshop provides the psychology, effective behaviors, and commercial dynamics of negotiation across all business disciplines and sectors. It gives your business a competitive advantage-now and in the long term, delivering real behavioral shifts with a positive and measurable impact on your bottom line, tenfold within three months-guaranteed.

Negotiation is the basis of all business success.

Every time a contract is signed, a sale secured, or a deal concluded, the effectiveness of those behind the negotiations has a major influence on profitability. There is no other business skill with greater power to help you achieve better results-especially when times are tough.

Why choose the Gap Partnership?

We are obsessed with the art of negotiation. We studied, dissected, analyzed, and applied it. Our consultants are, first and foremost, skilled negotiators in their own right, with deep understanding of business dynamics. They have extensive practical experience in planning and executing deals, and can work as part of your negotiating team.

This is the real-world experience we transfer to your organization during The Complete Skilled Negotiator workshop: a comprehensive program designed to equip you with negotiating skills that deliver game-changing results.

We measure ourselves by the results achieved by our clients, because that's what counts in the real world. It's an approach that has made us the preferred partner of hundreds of industry-leading companies.

Who can attend the workshop?

•    General managers
•    Account managers
•    Purchasing professionals
•    HR, logistics, finance, legal, and marketing professionals
•    Experienced directors and negotiators

Whether you choose an in-house or open program, our emphasis on individual coaching limits each workshop to eight delegates. Each residential workshop lasts three and a half intensive, 12-hour days.

Is the program practical or theoretical?

Over 70% of the workshop is devoted to hands-on learning. Attendees conduct negotiations and, through the use of video analysis, identify the appropriateness of their strategies, tactics, and behavior.

We conduct a thorough interview with all new clients and tailor each version of the workshop to meet the needs of your business, using scenarios that reflect your specific challenges and market dynamics.

Is there follow-up assessment?

After a comprehensive personal feedback session, we provide every workshop attendee with a personal development report written by the workshop's negotiation consultant, offering feedback on performance and practical advice on ways to improve future results.

Continuing professional development is key to the long-term success of the workshop. All attendees receive access to eGap, our online service that provides a suite of Web-based training and evaluation material, helping workshop attendees to strengthen and develop their personal skills on an ongoing basis.

After four to six weeks, the negotiation consultant provides an additional coaching session. Three months after the workshop, we provide a one-day follow-up workshop, structured to ensure that skills are firmly in place and that individual performance is delivering quantifiable benefits to your business.
