Negotiating in Sales - Better Negotiating for Sales Staff and Key Account Managers

Global trends in sales show that the most successful sales departments operate on an equal footing with customers and their purchasing departments. Particularly in the face of tough competition, your own customer relationship should be sustainably secured. Objective arguments and simple persuasion are often not enough if both negotiating partners are pursuing different goals and business interests. Your negotiating partners are committed heads of strategic purchasing on the customer side, experienced purchasers, and informed administrators.
The prevailing negotiating style in purchasing is sometimes characterized by extreme harshness in price negotiations.  At first glance, the success of sales negotiations is measured in terms of turnover, but in the long term you have only negotiated well if a mutually satisfactory cooperation is established and the customer enters into a genuine partnership with you and wants to grow with you. The Harvard concept ("Getting to Yes") offers a globally proven strategy that will help you develop and consolidate your individual negotiating skills.
