Negotiation+Dealmaking: Sourcing+Purchasing Professionals

CLOSING DEALS PROFITABLY – As a purchasing professional, you are expected to meet many, often conflicting, demands – price, quality, delivery, guarantees, general terms and conditions etc. You also have to ensure the uninterrupted flow of raw materials, goods and services, and keep suppliers happy to ensure you actually get what you agreed. What a challenge!

This program helps you achieve better outcomes by building on your existing negotiation skills. You learn to prepare more effectively, and trade in a structured way to ensure that you and your suppliers get what you need from the deal. You learn to structure the deal using our tools, concepts and methods to help you capture the value for your organization and the supplier. Why is this important? Simple. A supplier that feels they got a fair deal is more motivated to implement the deal, and continue to delight you as their customer by delivering excellent service and support.
