Telephone Negotiation Skills Workshop

These days many important negotiation conversations are carried out completely over the phone. This presents unique challenges to those accustomed to communicating about critical issues face to face. Not only does telephone negotiating require excellent negotiation skills, it also demands above average communication skills.

Our one-day Telephone Negotiation Skills teaches the telephone sales negotiation process and how it is influenced by the behavioral styles of all parties involved. The skills taught and learned will boost your company’s sales and profitability. Workshop participants will learn how to pinpoint customer concerns over the phone and design a negotiation proposal to address those concerns. The interactive format using telephone switching equipment or audio taped phone directories applies specific negotiation skills to important business situations such as telephone selling, including incoming calls, outgoing calls, order taking, prospecting, selling, customer service, collection, and telephone etiquette.

Direct focus is geared toward industry-specific and videotaped role-plays, audiotaped phone conversations and telephone switching for real life telephone practice. This hands-on approach allows all participants to learn by doing rather than being lectured to. Intensive feedback from our professional negotiations instructor guarantees direct skill reinforcement and individual skill development.
