Course Description
Negotiation Applied: Practical at Work Negotiating
Negotiate effectively at work - practical salary negotiation, buying, selling, procurement, pay rise, etc
Knowing how to negotiate effectively, and with confidence, is a skill that can make a huge difference to your career, your day-to-day work life and your personal wellbeing. Whether it’s negotiating the starting salary for a new job, getting that pay rise you know you deserve, agreeing on deals and contracts with suppliers and customers, or dealing with a difficult colleague - knowing how to negotiate properly is essential in every single area of work.
The negotiation skills you will develop during this course will allow you to head into intense discussions without stress or worry. You’ll become a master of the art of negotiation and learn practical insights that can be applied throughout your life (including outside of work!), whether that’s buying a new home or selling a car.
Of course, money is often the focus of many negotiations, and small wins can make a huge difference to your organization's performance and how seriously you are taken in the workplace. Maybe you need to be stronger in contract negotiations, or tow a harder line in procurement? Perhaps you’re getting passed over for promotions, or you feel like new and exciting opportunities are passing you by. Poor negotiation is a weakness that can be taken advantage of, but this course you will turn your negotiation skills into a superpower.
By the time you finish this course, you will have developed fundamental skills that are essential to successful negotiation. You’ll know how to enter negotiations from a position of strength, and how to navigate your way to an effective result. First, we’ll cover the basics of negotiating, then we’ll apply these principles to real-life examples using a step by step process that you can use in any situation. These practical skills will spill over into all aspects of your life, allowing you to know your worth and how to leverage negotiations for a win-win outcome.

This course is a very good companion of the main negotiation course by Chris - which I also strongly recommend. It covers negotiation from many possible angles. And if you get the gist, you can apply to other areas not covered in this course.

I am in a situation where I am facing a very difficult landlord and the suggestions so far--"it's only a game," "instead of 'yes' or 'no'"--resonate with me. I would have liked to have heard more about avoidance issues since I consider negotiating difficult and stressful. I sucomb to avoidance issues.

It’s a truly great course; I have benefited from it immensely in my professional life. I applied what I learned in the course during a job interview, and it was the best job interview I've ever had. I achieved the results I aspired to and received a salary higher than that of my colleagues at the same level. I experienced wonderful moments with this course, and I am very sad that I have finished it

I've been in Procurement for over 20 years and still I learned many new things with this course. His voice is very pleasant and not monotone and he is very engaging with his plethora of stories used as examples in his teachings.
By Matt Weikel on 3/31/2023
This was a good supplemental training from His master negotiation training.... I like the irony at the end of this one when he is asking for reviews and ratings....but we cant negotiate it. We are forced to make a "yes" or "no" choice about providing a rating and review. This made me chuckle at that and also showed me how my mindset has changed after taking these courses.
By Jan Willem Damkot on 12/6/2022
This course was eye-opening. When I started I found negotiating difficult and embarassing. Now I'm negotiating important deals while feeling absolutely rock steady. The concepts and pointers Mr. Croft teaches in this course are fantastic and I will benefit from this course for the rest of my life.
By Orkn Gdk on 9/30/2020
Very practical! practicality is good, but there is a lot to do with psychology, body language and empathy that I was expecting to see.
By Nguyen Dinh Luan on 8/30/2020
It's an amazing course. Many tips had been taught by the instructor and I think most of them are useful & feasible. I'm not a native English, so I have to watch the video at 0.75x speed to catch up what his saying (but it was not a problem for me). Thanks so much for the course.
By Evguenia (Jane) Freider on 8/15/2020
Great course, very useful insights at tactics to negotiate as both buyer and seller. I feel like I need to rewatch again when I experience various situations such as looking for a new job or negotiating on a project. Wish I could role play with someone though...
By R.V.Jeya Balaji on 8/12/2020
One of the best course which I attended in my life. I have saved my hard earned money by various ways. I am going to save more in future by applying this knowledge in buying and selling things. My special thanks to Mr. Chris.
