This course is aimed at giving the purchaser the ‘edge’ in a negotiation whilst maintaining the win-win outcome to maintain after-sales relationships and repeat purchases at favourable rates. At the same time it shows how to counteract sales peoples’ ploys that aim to manipulate the buyer into making a hasty or inappropriate concession. Psychological aspects of the negotiation process are also examined, and role-play and exercises are included to demonstrate key points, and to help hone new skills.

relationship:
   • Getting early, easy concessions and lowering the seller’s

      to offer
   • Holding back demands as appropriate

- Trading:
