Advanced Negotiating Skills


Advanced Negotiating Skills training

The Scotwork Advanced Negotiating Skills programme is unique. It produces lasting behaviour change, reduces poor negotiating behaviour and delivers a measurable improvement to performance through intensive and enjoyable skills coaching, delivered by expert practitioners.


Our clients consistently report an average return on investment of more than ten times our fees within three months from their investment in this program.

The course provides participants with the knowledge and skills to manage complex negotiations in a professional, ethical and competent manner, and to drive better deals for their organisations in situations where long term relationships are important. The course allows participants to:

• Understand the structure underlying all negotiations

• Identify the appropriate skills used for negotiations

• Practise these skills in a constructive learning environment; and

• Deliver a measurable improvement in performance.

The course is offered in two formats, one-company training and open (public) courses:


One-company training


With our in-house training, we work with you to select the most appropriate dates for courses, find an appropriate venue (typically off-site) and we put programmes together focussed around your organisation's key negotiating issues and goals. We get to know your business beforehand, so that the skills coaching on the programme is directed towards your group's key challenges and, where necessary, relates to their terminology and systems.

The programme is delivered by two Scotwork consultants for up to 12 participants to facilitate personal skills analysis. The standard timetable is intensive and fast-paced and runs across one evening and two and a half days.

As well as providing intensive and practical negotiating skills development and an effective change to behaviour for the groups, this format provides a great team-building opportunity. We can even work with you to deliver a residential (live-in) programme which gives your team even more time to discuss negotiating issues with our consultants after hours in a relaxed setting.

Contact us to discuss your organisation's needs and see if this is the right option for your team.

Open (public) courses

Accommodation/meals are extra and should be paid for by the participant at the end of the course to the hotel. We recommend staying at the hotel; however for those not doing so there is a Daily Delegate Rate.
