Effective Negotiating®

Successful people are successful negotiators – bottom line. But what does that look like, and where do you start if you're looking to improve your own skills?

The Boston negotiating training course will teach you:

  1. What makes a good negotiator
  2. How to make a game plan and stick to it
  3. How to use hidden leverage to your advantage
  4. How expectations affect outcomes
  5. How to prevent the dreaded Nibble
  6. How to guard against negotiating tricks
  7. And much, much more.

This results-based negotiation training in Boston is facilitated by experts and incorporates a combination of classroom style and peer-to-peer learning. Participants will engage in peer role plays, mock negotiation sessions, case study analysis, and more, with dialogue throughout the two-day experience. You'll have the opportunity to put new skills to use immediately, and there are many opportunities for networking with locals in Boston and self-discovery along the way.

This Boston negotiation seminar is for you if you:

  1. Are interested in improving your negotiating skills in business and life
  2. Work in a position that involves relationship management
  3. Are new to negotiations or looking for a refresher on the fundamentals
  4. Would like to learn the language of negotiation
  5. Are interested in a foundational course to help you advance your career

Participants in our Boston negotiation skill training receive a course workbook, reference books, and the Negotiating Tips Card to reinforce lessons learned. You will feel confident and prepared when going into your next negotiation.

Boston attendees also receive a complementary set of take-home materials that cover topics not discussed in the program, including the Effective Negotiating® Workbook, online access to over three hours of streaming audio, and two of Dr. Karrass's bestselling books: Give and Take: The Complete Guide to Negotiating Strategies and Tactics and In Business As In Life – You Don't Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Negotiate.

Effective Negotiating Ⅱ®

Designed as a natural complement to the KARRASS original Effective Negotiating® Seminar, Effective Negotiating Ⅱ® delves deeper into more advanced negotiation techniques throughout an informative, engaging, and action-packed one-day program.

In today's interconnected and relationship-driven world, we negotiate far more often than you might think. It's a valuable skill that helps you navigate the world around you; yet surprisingly few people take the time to understand it at a level that enables them to take advantage.

KARRASS's Effective Negotiating Ⅱ® will teach you to:

  1. Identify the Four Stages of every negotiation.
  2. Keep your cool and maintain the initiative under pressure.
  3. Develop a comprehensive preparation checklist.
  4. Transform your mindset to create partners instead of opponents.
  5. Apply the concept of BATNA to get what you deserve.
  6. Avoid psychological pitfalls common in negotiations.
  7. Build mutually-beneficial, long-lasting, Both-Win® deals.
  8. And much more.
