Negotiation Training

KARRASS brings a legacy to life with negotiation classes in Seattle. With over 50 years of experience and a global reputation for excellence, our negotiation training seminars help professionals improve their leadership and tactical skills to achieve better outcomes.

KARRASS has trained over a million business professionals in the art of negotiating. In business and life, everyone negotiates to get what they want. However, effective negotiation is more than that. It's about creating value, building strong relationships, and securing win-win outcomes for everyone involved.

Whether you're new to negotiating or you're leading a Fortune 500 company, our training seminars give Seattle professionals the strategies they need to succeed in any negotiation.

Effective Negotiating®

Success and effective negotiation go hand in hand. In our two day Effective Negotiating® seminar, you'll develop the skills you need for better decision-making, conflict resolution, and the ability to create win-win agreements in any setting.

What You'll Learn in The Seattle Negotiating Skills Training

Becoming a successful negotiator means learning how to develop clear strategies and communicate confidently to gain a competitive edge. Here are some of the benefits you'll receive from the Seattle negotiating training course:

  1. Strategic Communications: Whether you're involved in high-stakes negotiations or resolving conflicts within diverse teams, you'll discover precise communication strategies to convey key messages with confidence.
  2. Communication Jobs in Seattle: Imagine leading a tech program at Amazon or Microsoft, where you need expert negotiating skills to achieve outcomes that align with the project's goals. Effective negotiation strengthens the interpersonal skills you need for roles in tech, healthcare, and marketing, where collaboration drives success.
  3. How to Make a Game Plan and Stick to It: In negotiations, a clear strategy is essential for achieving success. You'll learn how to develop thoughtful, actionable plans that keep you focused and on track throughout the negotiation process while also staying adaptable to changing circumstances.
  4. Using Hidden Leverage to Your Advantage: In every negotiation, there are hidden advantages that you can use to strengthen your position. Whether they're relational, psychological, or strategic, you'll be able to spot and use these unseen opportunities to achieve better deals and resolve conflicts with positive outcomes.
  5. Preventing the Dreaded Nibble: One of the most common negotiation tactics is the “nibble.” The nibble is a small request, usually presented near the end of the deal. While the request seems tiny compared to the overall deal, it can put you in an awkward position. This negotiation class teaches you how to prevent and deal with these last-minute demands.

Successful negotiators know how to create value for everyone at the table, while maintaining their own position to get what they deserve. In our immersive Effective Negotiating® seminar, we blend classroom instruction with interactive peer-to-peer role plays and mock sessions to help you discover key techniques that work for you.

Our seminars are led by negotiation experts in Seattle who understand what it takes to succeed in the professional landscape of technology, finance, and international trade. Through case studies and in-depth analysis, you'll gain practical skills that you can apply immediately in real-world scenarios.
