Win-Win Negotiations Program
The Win-Win Negotiations Program will provide insights not only on the general principles, but also an understanding of the differences between domestic and international buyers and how you could modify your approaches accordingly. You will be provided with tools, techniques, and learnings to help with planning the customer engagement and pitch.
The Program will consist of four two-hour workshop sessions and an optional 45-minute one-on-one consultation upon completion. Topics include:
• Booking the meeting. How do you even get one and with whom – what is your hook?
• Develop a compelling selling presentation that engages the retailer
• Understand basic buyer metrics and KPIs
• Shape your commercial proposition – why will it be interesting to the buyer?
• Foundation negotiation. Once you have a nibble, you won’t be caught off guard
• Overcome objections and avoid being forced into concessions early in the engagement
• Summary of the ‘rules of the game’ when negotiating with retailers
This online workshop is suitable for Australian Food and Agribusinesses of all levels. Registrations will open after the webinar.
