The Art of Successful Negotiation
This half day workshop is designed to assist all those who have to deal with negotiation. Whether it is to pitch and close a sponsorship agreement or brining in that next major gift; buying an new house or selling your car or convincing your spouse you should be going to Europe versus Vegas on that next holiday trip.
We all need to know how to negotiate. Brent Barootes, a negotiator since a child and often viewed as “the person who could sell ice cubes to Inuit”, will illustrate through examples and tips on how to become a better negotiator. You will go away with fresh ideas and tangible tools to help you win your next deal negotiation. Make sure your charity, non-profit or event has the negotiating tools to reap the rewards that await you.
