Introduction
One of the core business competences is the ability to negotiate effective agreements. Individuals and teams that negotiate with customers and contractors can contribute to the development of better external commercial relationships. The teams involved in purchasing and contract management in particular can generate competitive advantages for their company. However, they need to be aware of the strategies and tactics others may attempt to use that could lead to less favourable outcomes.
This engaging and immersive online training course will help participants get to grips with all the key issues concerned with contract creation and negotiation within a customer-supplier relationship. The online training course will make extensive use of role-play and other participative techniques, so that delegates get the chance to practice the tips and avoid the traps that can arise in the creation of commercial agreements.
