Influencing, Persuading and Negotiating Skills


Do you have what it takes to negotiate with the best?
Most people are involved with negotiations at some point in their lives, whether this is in a personal context or in a workplace situation. There are many ways to describe negotiation – influencing others to achieve your goal or objective, reaching an agreement, bargaining, persuading, gaining an advantage, getting what you want from a given situation. The whole purpose of Negotiation is to find a solution that benefits all parties. This Influencing, Persuading and Negotiating training course will teach you a range of concepts, methods and approaches to persuading and negotiating with other people in different circumstances and will equip you with the necessary toolkit of skills to have the ability and confidence to influence a situation to your own benefit and advantage.What our customers say about our Influencing and Negotiation Training Course
I have never been on a more profound training course, it covered every objective that I wanted to address, and I am genuinely excited to try some of the techniques in the workplace. Many thanks to Alan, the course trainer for a brilliant two days. I found the whole experience life changing.☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆Neil J Programme Manager
Brilliant, I got a lot out of this course. There was a lot of group interaction and tailoring to suit our needs. The trainer was excellent, and I’d definitely book another course with Courtney Associates.☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆Mark H Senior R & D Associate
There was a very good atmosphere during the course and it was very engaging. It was set at a good pace and there was enough time to talk about the subject and discuss within the group. Excellent course.☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆Katsa S Infrastructure Architect
Fantastic! Really enjoyed the session and have a lot to think about. The course was interactive and friendly, and I would definitely book another course with Courtney Associates.☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆Danielle H Senior Accouonts Assistant
Very enthusiastic, encouraging, engaging course trainer. A lot of the course material may seem obvious but you are forced to redefine and reconsider communication in a whole new way. The power is already in you. You just need to know how to harness and release it.☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆Victoria D Senior Producer
Tom has an infectious nature and instantly has your attention. I found the course very interesting and helpful and would highly recommend.☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆Michelle N Sales Negotiator, The Property Hive
I was worried that the course wasn’t going to be as effective as there were only three delegates attending the course, but it meant the day was really relaxed and it was even better that we were in a small group. I’m going to book my manager onto this course as it was excellent!☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆Kelly H Centre Manager
