Enhanced Negotiations Strategies Masterclass

Why is the Enhanced Negotiating Strategies Masterclass Important for You?

Your negotiating ability is your destiny. Whatever your profession. Whatever your industry. Whatever the stage of your career. You cannot escape the fact that your future is a function of your negotiating prowess.

No business skill can deliver a faster return-on-effort than negotiations. A bit of unresponsiveness can unnerve your adversary, causing him to yield valuable concessions. A few weeks of strategising and due diligence may enable you to receive prices and financing terms millions of dollars more favorable than you previously anticipated. Optimising the opening offer can result in substantial profits. Creative deal structuring can be worth big money.

Rather than imparting negotiating lessons through the lens of impractical academic theory, this course brings to life dozens and dozens of high-level negotiating conquests from colorful figures such as Elon Musk (Tesla), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Travis Kalanick (Uber), John Mackey (Whole Foods), Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, David Beckham, Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Carl Icahn, and Nelson Mandela.

Date and Location

The programme happens from 26-27 February 2018 at IP Academy Singapore (51 Bras Basah Road, 01-01 Manulife Centre, Singapore 189554).
