Negotiation Deal Preparation

The Negotiation Experts place a strong emphasis on the negotiation deal preparation phase in which we work with clients sales, procurement and other departments in thoroughly analysing the commercial business opportunities, identifying and understanding the challenges, needs, positions and interests of buyers and sellers. Using our comprehensive Value Creation Framework™ as a roadmap, we’re able to assist clients in navigating through their commercial deal complexities no matter how challenging, large, risky, and whether in new markets or involving new products or services.

Strategic Planning Services

In the strategic planning consultancy phase we assist clients in developing a commercial negotiating strategy by assessing objectives, priorities, mandates and contingency options as well as those of the other side, whether sales or procurement. We analyse both party’s strengths and weaknesses, the relative power balance between them and the possibility of power-building where appropriate having regard, at all times, to the relationship between the parties and the opportunity to add bottom line profit and value to the negotiation wherever possible.

Team Negotiation

Where large or complex deals require team preparation or team negotiation – our Negotiation Experts advise clients on the composition, structuring, roles and coordination of their negotiation team. A popular negotiation training choice is role play training using custom written case studies designed to mirror the upcoming deal. Advanced split screen mobile video services technology is often used in the review of this video to provide immediate expert and personal feedback to all our clients’ negotiators.
