Oligopolistic Negotiation Skills

LEARN TO NEGOTIATE BETTER OUTCOMES WHEN NEGOTIATING IN AN OLIGOPOLY ENVIRONMENT. LEARN HOW TO REDUCE THE PERCEIVED NEGOTIATING POWER OF THESE ORGANISATIONS.

Have your people been specifically and professionally trained to negotiate with these organisations? These organisations are often brutal negotiators. Learn how to reduce their perceived bargaining power. Learn how to win profitable concessions. Learn how to be perceived as a valued partner. Don't let your profit margins get slaughtered anymore.

How good are your negotiation skills with Oligopolies?

2. I ensure the other person can walk away with a perceived win.
3. I understand the organisational behaviours of these oligopolies.
4. I plan and have a clear strategy before going into a negotiation.
5. I always bring comparable hard data to the negotiation.
6. I know my BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement).
7. I separate people from the problem.
8. I create possibilities that the other person had never considered.
9. I can adjust my negotiation plan based on unanticipated moves by the other party.
10. I communicate carefully and effectively.
11. I use active listening and questioning skills.
12. I ensure that my negotiation decision is based on results, not emotions or pressure.
13. I am aware of both mine and the other party's personality style.
14. I can deal with difficult people effectively.
15. I am aware of the dirty tricks and gambits that are often used in negotiations.
16. I have prepared answers when the other side threatens to walk away.
17. I always prepare a closing checklist.
18. I search for external value for the other party.
