What to expect

This interactive training offers a unique opportunity to walk in the other person’s shoes. You’ll learn what negotiations look like from the other party’s perspective. Through practical case studies, role-playing, and group reflections, you’ll develop mutual understanding, sharper tactics, and learn how effective negotiation stems from a sustainable relationship. During the exercises, we will have both sellers and buyers practice with each other in a unique, real-life setting.

Who is this training intended for?

Professionals with at least 5 years of relevant experience in procurement and/or sales who want to gain insight into the mindset of “the other side of the table” and sharpen their negotiation skills from this perspective.

Why should you attend this training?

In many organizations, buyers and sellers operate in separate worlds, each with their own goals and pressures. However, they share more than they realize: both aim to create value, reduce risks, and build effective relationships. This training brings both worlds together at the table to close more impactful deals WITH each other.

A unique opportunity to join a training together and align your commercial strategy with the reality of the buyer!
