About The Program

In this Basic Negotiation Training Program, TSC will train you to be able to gain insight into the behavior of employees who are deal makers in your organization. We all negotiate daily – in almost everything we do – with friends, family, employers, land lords and many others. There are proven tactics that work, and will help you refine your negotiating style, and improve your ability to bargain successfully and ethically in any situation.

Negotiation is also the key to business success. No business can survive without profitable contracts. Within a company, negotiation skills can lead to your career advancement.
In this Program, we also look at how to prepare negotiation strategies, approach complex situations that need a fair bit of negotiating, bearing in mind the interpersonal conflicts that may arise. You will have an opportunity to share your current negotiation style and challenges, and put together action plans to be able to approach such situations at work.

Along the way, you will gain appreciation for how negotiating skills can help you overcome a wide range of challenges—at work and beyond.
