SBI260923-Smart Negotiation for Effective Wins - - How to handle delicate negotiations to increase win rate *New!*
Overview
One of the most popular topics in sales is negotiation. Why? It is because customers want the longer end of the stick. Negotiation also usually is faced during the last stage of the sales process. Every negotiation carries the risk of losing the deal, strained relationship with customers or even tension amongst both internal and external cross-functional teams. Thus, negotiations can be a challenging experience. However, are there ways to manage, reduce or even eliminate tough negotiations? Yes. That is provided we start managing negotiation early in the sales cycle. This calls for strategic sales approach, proper pre-qualification, ability to gain trust, robust questioning techniques and delicate customer service and management. Stage the negotiation process strategically to increase the chances of winning and even strengthen client relationship beyond a win-win outcome!
