The PD Training Negotiation Skills Training Course provides you with practical negotiation techniques that you can use in many contexts and situations. Our negotiation training course is run more like a workshop where you are taught the theory, then break out and work in pairs or small teams to practice the negotiation skills that are relevant to your needs.

In this Negotiation Skills Training course you will learn the theory and get the opportunity to apply it to scenarios that suit your specific needs. Learn key skills like how to lay the groundwork for a successful negotiation outcome, choosing preferred locations, identifying the key points you're willing to concede and when to walk away from the bargaining table.

This hands-on Negotiation Skills Training Course is available now throughout Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

"The Presenter (Jo) captivated the audience and maintained our attention throughout the entire course.  Should I do another course I hope Jo will be presenting that course.  Thank you JO!"

"The trainer is excellent. I would like to learn more about the negotiation style due to different personality but it was not possible given the training was only one day."

-The Kraft Heinz Company

 

"It was great to have the trainer use examples from his own life, as well as always finding a way to relate it to something we would be exposed to internally in our every day work life. The practical exercises were great."


"I think the interactive components and practical work were great. We hardly touched the work books which seemed unusual but was perhaps good as we can look at them anytime. It may be useful to reinforce to the group that there is a lot of valuable information in the books and encourage participants to look at them in their own time. Derrick was clearly passionate and interested in the subject matter he was teaching!"


"It was very interactive which meant we were engaged all day. I found it useful as it was a good refresher for me, plus it made me understand what kind of negotiator I am and where my weaknesses and strengths are."


-Terry White Management Pty Ltd


 

 

"I enjoyed the course and have already started to implement some techniques.The course mainly focused on the selling side of negotiations(i do the purchasing) but I learnt quite a bit from their side...Overall quite helpful,thanks..."


-Kewco Products


 

"Enjoyed the course. While it was a topic we use every day in our role, it was good to learn some more about how the process works and how we can better use peoples traits to tailor our approach when dealing with them."


-Origin Organisational Capability - Upstream


 

"Our trainer was very knowledgeable and interactive - would definitely recommend to others in the work place."


-Winning Appliances
 

 

"The course is beneficial in all aspects to a role when you are in an environment to negotiate outcomes. Although most of the information I had learnt on the job over the years, there were some definite points that were new. It is always good to also refresh what you already know."

"Interesting discussions, laid back feel, useful content, good presentation of ideas."
