To gauge the potential ROI specific to your organisation's context, let's delve deeper into your unique goals and challenges in a personalised consultation.

At The Value Negotiator, we pride ourselves on offering both structured training programs and tailored consulting solutions. Our training programs have set pricing, reflecting the consistent value and knowledge they deliver to all participants.

On the other hand, our consulting services are uniquely crafted to the individual needs and challenges of each organisation. Given the bespoke nature of consulting, the investment varies based on scope, complexity, and objectives.

To best understand the investment and potential value for your specific situation, we recommend setting up a consultation. This allows us to provide an accurate and fair estimate aligned with your goals.

Partnering with The Value Negotiator isn't just a one-time engagement; it's an investment in the future of your organisation. Here's how:

1. Skill Transfer: We don't just consult; we educate. Your team will acquire negotiation skills that will remain an invaluable asset long after our formal partnership concludes.

2. Sustainable Strategies: Our methodologies are designed not just for short-term wins but for long-term growth. We help instill strategies that are adaptable and relevant even as market dynamics evolve.

3. Culture Transformation: We believe in shaping cultures that prioritise value-based negotiations. When your organisation adopts this mindset, it leads to more productive partnerships, reduced conflict, and consistent value generation.

4. Ongoing Support: Even after our immediate project ends, the learnings and support materials we provide will serve as a reference, ensuring that the impact of our partnership is continually felt.

5. Tailored Solutions: We understand that every organisation is unique. By crafting bespoke solutions, we ensure that the benefits you derive are specific to your challenges and goals, leading to a more profound and lasting impact.

In essence, our partnership is geared towards not just addressing immediate negotiation challenges but setting the foundation for a future where your organisation consistently optimises value in every negotiation opportunity.

Certainly. At The Value Negotiator, we understand that while the foundational principles of negotiation remain constant, the way they are applied and delivered can greatly benefit from a tailored approach.

1. Foundational Principles: Our negotiation processes and tools are rooted in tried-and-true principles that have consistently shown to be effective across industries and scenarios.

2. Tailored Delivery: While the core tools and principles we teach are consistent, the manner in which we deliver our training and consultancy is bespoke. We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your organisation's specific needs, challenges, and objectives. This allows us to align our delivery to resonate most effectively with your team's environment.

3. Industry Insights: We ensure that we're attuned to the trends, challenges, and opportunities of your industry. This contextual understanding enables us to guide your team in applying the negotiation principles in ways that are most relevant to your industry's dynamics.

4. Collaborative Approach: Your in-house expertise is invaluable. Working hand-in-hand with your team, we bridge the gap between our negotiation frameworks and your specific industry challenges, ensuring a seamless integration of the two.

5. Adaptive Application: Our goal is to equip your team with the capability to leverage the negotiation tools we provide to adapt to the evolving challenges and opportunities your organisation will face.

In summary, while our negotiation principles and tools are steadfast, our commitment is to ensure their delivery is as relevant, contextual, and actionable for your organisation as possible.

Our training programs vary in duration, from 4hr showcases to multiple-day intensives.

While it's tempting for some organisations to seek training as a reaction to immediate challenges like an imminent cost price increase, we advocate a proactive approach.

Starting training well in advance allows your team to benefit from priming and positioning strategies, ensuring you're not forced into a defensive stance.

By equipping your team early, you empower them to navigate negotiations more effectively, turning potential challenges into opportunities for value creation.

Don't wait for urgency; prime your team for success in advance.

Opting for external negotiation training offers a focused and structured approach to skill enhancement. An external trainer, like The Value Negotiator, brings in a fresh perspective, novel techniques, and a vast reservoir of real-world experiences from various industries. This ensures your team receives cutting-edge knowledge, untainted by internal biases or traditional practices. Moreover, training isn't just about imparting knowledge; it's about engaging participants, eliciting their perspectives, and fine-tuning their approach. External trainers are adept at creating such learning environments, ensuring that the training not only educates but also transforms.

External negotiation consulting offers a unique blend of objective evaluation and specialised expertise. While internal teams are invaluable, they often operate within the paradigms of the company's existing negotiation strategies and practices.

An external consultant, like The Value Negotiator, can recognise patterns, potential pitfalls, and opportunities that might be overlooked internally. We dive deep into understanding your specific challenges, leveraging our diverse industry experience to provide tailored solutions.

Engaging in external consulting allows you to benefit from best practices, innovative strategies, and a fresh approach, ensuring you are always positioned advantageously in your negotiations.

After the completion of our program, The Value Negotiator remains deeply committed to your ongoing success. We understand that real-world scenarios can present challenges that weren't apparent during training. To support your team's continuous growth and success, we provide:

1. Follow-up Sessions: Scheduled check-ins post-training to tackle any questions, reinforce key learnings, and ensure effective real-world application.

2. Resource Access: Ongoing access to our online resources, including toolkits, templates, and guides, to keep the learned skills sharp and effective.

3. Interactive Webinars: We're in the process of developing a series of webinars on specialised negotiation topics. These will provide in-depth explorations into specific areas of interest. Stay tuned for announcements on our upcoming sessions.

4. Retainer-based Support: Recognising the value of having expertise on call, we offer our services on retainer for ongoing Q&As. This ensures you have direct access to expert advice and strategies as real-time negotiation challenges arise, keeping your team at the top of their game.

5. Feedback and Improvement: We're always eager to hear about your team's experiences — the successes, the challenges, and everything in between. This feedback loop not only allows us to provide targeted advice but also continually refine our programs for even better results in the future.

Our goal goes beyond training. We aim to ensure that the negotiation strategies and insights shared become an integral part of your team's ethos, continually delivering outstanding value for your organisation.

When you choose The Value Negotiator, you're choosing a dedicated, personalised experience that larger firms might not always be able to offer.

Our boutique nature allows us to provide tailored solutions, ensuring that each engagement aligns closely with your organisation's specific needs and context.

Furthermore, we believe that continuity is paramount to delivering resonant results. With us, you'll be working directly with the same professional from the initial discovery phase right through to the delivery of the training. This ensures that the insights and understandings we gather in our initial discussions are woven into the fabric of the training process. It's this integrated, holistic approach that sets us apart, ensuring every engagement is as impactful, relevant, and perfectly aligned with your unique challenges and aspirations.

Preparing for our discovery call ensures we make the most of our time together. Here's how you can prepare:

1. Reflect on your organisation's current challenges: Understand where you feel your team's negotiation capabilities might be lacking or where enhancements could be made.
2. Gather relevant data: Recent negotiation outcomes, key metrics, or feedback will give us a richer perspective.
3. Engage stakeholders: Obtain feedback from key team members about their negotiation experiences and areas of potential growth.
4. Identify objectives: What are the specific short-term and long-term outcomes you're aiming for with our collaboration?
5. Stay open-minded: While having precise concerns is valuable, our discussion might reveal deeper needs or alternative viewpoints.

Lastly, it's worth noting that our conversation is also an opportunity for us to determine mutual alignment. Only if it's clear that your organisation's needs match the solutions we offer will we discuss potential next steps. This ensures that both parties stand to gain significant value from the partnership.

At The Value Negotiator, we value quality collaborations that drive mutual success. To ensure we're partnering with organisations that can gain the most from our unique approach, we consider the following criteria:

1. Organisational Readiness for Change: We look for partners that recognise gaps in their negotiation capabilities and are genuinely willing to embrace new methodologies. Commitment to time, resources, and leadership support are essential to foster improvements.

2. Alignment with Our Philosophy: The Value Negotiator prioritises relationships alongside results. Ideal partners are those that resonate with our philosophy of mutual value creation. This encompasses a focus on long-term partnerships, trust-building, and moving beyond mere short-term gains.

3. Engagement and Participation: The success of our partnership depends heavily on active participation and engagement from key stakeholders within your organisation. We seek collaborations where the involved members are proactive, engaged, and ready to implement the learnings in their roles.

By ensuring alignment on these criteria, we strive to offer impactful solutions that resonate deeply with your organisational needs and vision.
