Tools and Process Integration
Without a clear negotiation process, outcomes can vary widely depending on individual preparation styles. At Impact Negotiation Group, we work with your team to build a consistent and effective negotiation framework.
By integrating customized tools and strategies, we ensure your organization prepares for every negotiation in a structured, results-oriented way. Whether it’s in-person negotiations or digital strategies, our approach improves preparation and boosts performance across the board.
Playbook Development
A negotiation playbook is an essential resource for any commercial team. It offers a detailed guide for navigating various negotiation scenarios, from assessing power dynamics to risk management and strategic communication.
Our playbooks provide a structured, step-by-step approach for your teams, allowing them to prepare thoroughly for each negotiation. By developing a tailored playbook, your organization can standardize negotiation practices across sales and procurement functions, improving readiness and ensuring that all negotiations are approached with a unified, strategic mindset.
Negotiation Review
To succeed, it’s crucial to understand where your team excels and where improvements can be made. Our negotiation review process analyzes your organization’s negotiation performance through interviews, surveys, and detailed reviews. This evaluation helps identify strengths and weaknesses, allowing your team to refine its approach and improve future outcomes.
With Impact Negotiation Group’s review process, your organization will continuously improve its negotiation strategies, leading to measurable results.
Negotiation Board
Creating a Negotiation Board within your organization ensures that negotiations are handled with consistency, strategy, and accountability. This board oversees the preparation, review, and approval of each negotiation process, helping commercial teams align on goals and strategies before entering discussions.
At Impact Negotiation Group, we work with your organization to establish and implement this board, fostering a culture of thorough preparation and strategic execution. The result? Better-prepared negotiators and more favorable deals for your business.
