Participant Challenges
You enter sales negotiations with good intent but quickly lose direction, become reactive, or fall into unproductive compromise. You fail to recognise when buyers are manipulating terms, disguising demands, or using pressure tactics. Emotional bias clouds judgement, and mismatched styles derail progress. Act now or face weaker deals, confused communication, and long-term damage to commercial outcomes and client trust.
Course Objectives
Designed and delivered by Nicholas Hill Academy Ltd, this course strengthens your ability to adapt sales negotiation styles, recognise tactics, and lead buyers toward practical, mutual agreements. You think strategically under pressure, design principled proposals, and confidently lead win-win outcomes. Long term, you close stronger deals, inspire team performance, and protect your organisation’s commercial interests.
