In this program, you will learn how to negotiate with someone who refuses to cooperate and bargain in good faith, or who stonewalls and won‘t bargain at all. You will learn what to do when the other side resorts to threats, dirty tricks or personal attacks, as well as how to break through negotiating logjams created by a hard bargainer’s bad behavior without ruining your chances for success.
Based on a set of breakthrough strategies you can use to turn aside attacks, escape from seemingly impossible situations and move from face-to-face confrontation to more productive negotiating results.
Taught by world-renowned professors, distinguished thought leaders and best-selling authors.
