Negotiation: The Art of Letting the Other Side Have Your Way

Almost everything in our business lives revolve around negotiating. Negotiating with landlords, suppliers, customers, etc.. Negotiating today has become as much a science as an art.

Learn about such negotiating principles as BATNA (Best Alternative To No Agreement); Negotiations as a process, not an event; Negotiating from a position of strength, Planning for a negotiations session, and numerous negotiating tactics.

This workshop will be held IN-PERSON only. Registration deadline is 9:00PM the day before all events.
