Campanile Programmes
Negotiating is not bargaining. Effective negotiation is one of the keys to the sustainability of your business. Good negotiators help companies create value: agreements that make sense to both sides, can be delivered smoothly and benefit lasting partnership.
Negotiate with Purpose
Most failed negotiators neglect preparation about the counterpart’s objectives and thus create a high-pressure negotiation environment. They are surprised by the other side’s offer, and either say yes to a poor deal or ‘fight back’ and lose trust and respect. In fact, it is possible to push for a good deal or even say no in a constructive way.
Start from the assumption that both sides want to agree on a deal, keep a clear focus and offer alternatives every time you say no. The course will take you through the ‘big picture’ of negotiation strategy and make you practice tactics that help you stick to your goal and close a deal that is worth following up.
What does a typical programme look like?

Awareness:
We start the project by listening to the client's description of their business, the situations where people negotiate, the successes and challenges they experience. Before we commit to any changes, we conduct individual assessment using personality or behavioural tools chosen either by the client or by Campanile. Finally, we set clear goals and decide on the best ways to accomplish them: consulting, coaching, workshops or more.

Skills:
Now that we are familiar with our client's negotiation practices, goals and challenges, we design and deliver customised negotiation methods in the form of individual and group coaching, skills development and workshops. Participants spend most of the time practicing industry-specific case studies and real-work negotiation scenarios under realistic time pressure. Each activity builds on the results of the previous one, and can be adjusted accordingly.

Habits:
Without proper follow-up, consulting, coaching and training becomes a distant memory after six months. We know how busy people are, and therefore we design our projects realistically. From simple reminders to refresher workshops, we offer a dozen ways to turn a single programme into a habit-changing journey of improvement. We also work together with our clients to ensure that levels, units and teams within the company support each other's improvement.
