Advanced Negotiation Preparation for TCO Purchasing and Procurement Center
Price: AED 16,878

    Course details

    PROGRAM SUMMARY
    Negotiations are won and lost before they ever start. At least 80% of your
    time should be spent preparing for negotiations. Rookie negotiators however
    compromise on price to make the supplier feel like they got a win/win deal.
    Purchasing Masters use powerful behavioral psychology techniques to drive
    win/win results that do not impact the purchasing professional’s TCO
    objectives, thereby allowing both parties to be successful.

    You will learn how to recognize, pursue, track, and report the various types of
    cost savings so that every opportunity is recognized and captured. Plus
    discover how to develop cost modeling (must cost, should cost, total cost, &
    benchmarking) for pre-negotiations data analysis – knowing which one to use,
    how to use, and when to use. A deep analysis will be done on how to
    understand costs and cost drivers and how to take costs out of the supply
    chain - instead of simply focusing on reducing supplier profit margins.

    This seminar will culminate in giving advanced tools and methodologies that
    provide breakthrough results to set you apart from your peers and put your
    results and your career on the fast track to success.
