Sales people or sales team managers

Pre-requisites: Proven experience in sales and
negotiating
The Three Dimensions of
      Negotiation
Process
Relationship Building
The roadmap of successful negotiation meetings:
- Maintain the balance of power
- Allow yourself room for manoeuvre
- Understand the difference between selling and negotiating
- Never give away: always trade off
- Be able to improvise
- Reassure the other party
- Steer the meeting
Conclusion: six-point checklist to the three dimensions
                    of negotiation
  - Sell first, negotiate afterwards ... if necessary.

  - If you feel like a hostage, free yourself first.

  - Feel responsible for your company’s margins, not your
  client’s.

  - Negotiate the various terms of the agreement.

  - Create a favourable relationship at the end of the contract

  - Be a leader in your client relationship and not the great
  soloist virtuoso when negotiating with the buyer.

  - Have a mutual conclusion
