This webinar is part of CFA UK’s Next-level communication skills pathway

Negotiation is a vital life skill, yet many of us tend to shy away from it. From a young age, we're constantly negotiating, and anyone with children can recognise their natural talent as master negotiators! 

Join Nick Bird from MSB Executive as he shares expert advice on how best to negotiate and deal with difficult objections. These core skills will be useful across many forms of business whether that is selling or buying externally, getting a pay rise or even just wanting not to work all weekend. We will provide you with tips and techniques to get the best outcomes in these areas.

We will cover topics such as:

• The power of persuasion not the art of argument

• Understanding the main forms of objections and how to deal with them

• How to react under stressful situations and keep your calm

• How to listen and not react

• Why not to answer the question

• Understanding false objections and how to move on from them

• Reaching agreement where everyone is happy

This insightful session will provide you with the foundational skills needed for successful negotiation, applicable in both professional and personal contexts. Don't miss the opportunity to enhance your negotiation abilities with practical advice from an expert.
