Testimonials  About The Advanced Procurement Negotiations Training & Instructor

On behalf of the Institute for Supply Management’s … affiliate, I thank you [Mark] sincerely for two dynamic days packed full of useful information on Advanced Negotiations! This confirms our record turnout of 56 participants. The seminar was very well received by our participants. The evaluations were very high. I would like to share [some] participant comments on the seminar itself:

  • Excellent use of case studies – Real life problems.
  • The workshops took on the actual feeling that I was selling/buying – valuable information was derived especially on the selling side – which I am not accustomed to. Great job guys!
  • Team exercises were helpful to get other negotiation techniques.
  • … class was excellent! Would recommend to other organizations.

Anyone with fifteen minutes to spare … should sit down and take a close read of Mark Trowbridge's excellent analysis on improving negotiating leverage in his … article … This is one of those once in a quarter articles where the Cliff Notes or a quick skim will not suffice. In it, Mark presents seven ways of improving your negotiating strength, nearly all of which are relevant across industries (although anyone involved in manufacturing will want to take an even closer look at a few of the suggestions). … The difference in some of Mark's techniques relative to others you might read about is that they're aimed at changing the basis of negotiation rather than simply improving the negotiation itself. That's because these techniques can alter a supplier's perception of your relative strength in the negotiation process
