In this session, we’ll bust two big myths.

• Myth 1: Negotiation is a mystical art which only the few can master. The truth: Anyone can negotiate anything, provided they have the right tools, mindset, and support.
• Myth 2: Marketing has nothing to do with sales negotiations. The truth: Part of negotiating is about explaining the value/ROI/uniqueness of your solution, which is at the heart of marketing’s role.
 
By attending you’ll learn about:
• The critical importance of marketing in value-based selling and negotiations

• Some common negotiation mistakes and personas
• An easy to use, four step process to negotiate anything and get a better result
