Dear Colleague, The World’s Most Advanced Business Negotiation Strategies The Advanced Business Negotiation Academy has been specifically designed to empower you with not only the latest and most advanced business negotiation strategies, but also the supporting negotiation tactics, techniques, templates and tools to equip you to blast past right past your objectives.

The Advanced Business Negotiation Academy is built on the accumulation on 24 years’ worth of commercial negotiation experience, detailed analysis, research, individual camera based negotiating coaching with 3,500 business professionals, and consulting to multi-billion dollar commercial transactions. I’ve invested literally hundreds of thousands of dollars into my education on the topics of negotiation, influence, persuasive communication, cross cultural communication, psychology, presentation skills, leadership development, marketing and personal development.

For you to gain access to the information, strategies, techniques and tactics covered in the Advanced Business Negotiation Academy would mean that you would have to attend several seminars and programs of study, let alone the commitment of time, travel and investment in understanding the impact of human nature on the negotiation process from a cultural or functional perspective you will have to make.

Participating in the Advanced Business Negotiation Academy will give you access to all the skills, knowledge and tools that you could possibly need to move you into the top league of global business negotiators.

During the seminar, you can expect to be fully immersed in practical negotiation simulations with your peers both one-on-one and in group format, as well as individual filmed negotiations with a JPA Senior Consultant.

Your participation will quite literally give you the edge in negotiations with over 80% of those who will be facing you. This seminar just might be the breakthrough that will change everything in your professional life and career.

We look forward to negotiating with you!

Yours sincerely

Jan Potgieter, Founder and Lead Consultant, The Advanced Business Negotiation Academy

DAY ONE 0900-0915 Introduction and Course Objectives

1230-1330 Networking Lunch

0915-1030 Individually Filmed Negotiation You will participate in a challenging one on one filmed negotiation simulation with a professional business negotiator. The footage filmed during your simulated negotiation will be personally debriefed with you on Day Two. This will be conducted alongside a simultaneous negotiation exercise.

1330-1415 Determining the right Negotiation

Strategy and Supporting Tactics The key determinants of negotiation strategy are explored. Delegates are empowered with the means to determine the most appropriate negotiation strategy and supporting tactics to pursue based on the opportunity at hand and focusing on both internal as well as external negotiations. Each delegate will receive a copy of their own Negotiation Style Preference Profile.

1030-1045 Networking Coffee Break 1045-1130 It’s A People Game – Part 1: Team Based

Practical Exercise This highly interactive exercise provides the ideal platform for a mix of experienced and inexperienced business negotiators to work together in taking decisions regarding options for game play and negotiation. The game is ideal to demonstrate key negotiation principles including the importance of goal setting, interests, exploration, trust, visibility and flexibility in negotiation.

1130-1230 It’s A People Game Part 2: Understanding

Your Communication Preferences Your preferences are the best predictors of your behaviour. This session will address the impact of your preferences on the negotiation process and will identify your default negotiation behaviours. Becoming aware of your preferences during the negotiation process will allow you to no longer rely on default approaches.

This practical session is supported by your personal communication profile which will help you to recognise the different interests represented by people and the impact of those individual preferences (rather than their competencies) on their negotiation behaviour with both internal as well as external stakeholders.

1415-1530 Setting Objectives for Negotiation and

Concession Strategy Planning Participants engage in a One on One negotiation with a colleague and the results achieved are recorded and analysed with a specific emphasis on the impact of objective setting on the results achieved from negotiations. Concepts of ‘Aspiration Base’, ‘Real Base’, Zone of Possible Agreement and Best Alternatives To A Negotiated Agreement are explored during the debrief with reference to the results achieved by participants in their negotiations.

1530-1545 Networking Coffee Break 1545-1730 Best Practice Negotiation Preparation Preparing properly for any negotiation is absolutely key and even more so when entering into a negotiation as part of a team. Delegates are introduced to the JPA Negotiation Preparation Checklist to be used in preparation for a team-based negotiation simulation.

The JPA Negotiation Preparation Checklist is a structured preparation assistance tool and serves as a reference guide to ensure thorough and consistent application of negotiation best and leading practices. You will prepare for your negotiation in your allocated teams ready to undertake your negotiation first thing on the Day Two.

‘I really enjoyed the two days and even for an old sceptic like me I really did take some valuable lessons away with me! Very in depth course, but set at the right level. No assumptions were made and we were free to question and debate.’

Clare McKnight, Vodafone 5

DAY

TWO

0830-1015 Team Based Filmed Negotiation

Simulation and Debriefing Delegates will undertake the previously prepared filmed negotiation simulation which will be debriefed in detail in the context of best practices using the JPA Negotiation Preparation Check List as a guide.

1500-1515 Networking Coffee Break 1515-1545 The Six Principles of Persuasion Participants are introduced to Dr Cialdini’s Six principles of persuasive communication: Liking, Authority, Commitment and Consistency, Reciprocity, Scarcity and Social Proof.

1015-1030 Networking Coffee Break 1030-1100 Using and Countering Negotiation Tactics We take a deeper look at how to use and counter the 30 most commonly used commercial negotiation tactics. Supported by practical examples.

1100-1230 Individually Filmed Negotiation Debriefs Each delegate will receive an individual and confidential debriefing of their filmed negotiation simulation.

Delegates receive individual feedback regarding their strengths and weaknesses in the context of achieving their objectives, Framing, Questioning, Negotiation Strategy and Concession Handling. Simultaneously delegates who are not being debriefed use the time to prepare for and participate in a second team based negotiation simulation.

1545-1630 Framing and Questioning Participants are introduced to the JPA Objection Handling Framework and participate in a practical exercise targeting their real world negotiation objectives. Participants now implement framing, questioning and objection handling techniques in their specific negotiation scenarios supported by the Six Principles of Persuasion.
