Negotiating Skills
If you are selling in the B2B sector, you will almost certainly have had prospective customers wanting to negotiate with you on price and various other aspects of what you are selling. If you are dealing with professional buyers, be assured they have received the most excellent training in negotiating skills and will use all they have learned to negotiate the best possible deal for themselves.
If you are selling B2C, so many people now also want to negotiate and have learned how to, and so you need to have excellent negotiating skills too in order to maintain and increase your sales and profits.
Bruce King has been successfully teaching negotiation skills for over 25 years and has created the negotiation skills section on The Rainmakers platform. Here you will learn the most effective negotiation skills you can use to get the best possible deal, ideally for both parties.
You will also learn the negotiation skills that are likely to be used against you and how to avoid giving away concessions that are detrimental to your sales and profits.
