Negotiating in English

A diplomatic approach to "give" and "take" and the ability to express oneself confidently in the foreign language are the most important prerequisites for the successful outcome of an international negotiation. It is important to accommodate your counterpart without losing sight of your own interests.

Goal setting

This seminar provides participants with the necessary language skills to conduct successful negotiations in English. They will develop appropriate techniques, plan negotiations and conduct them. This is followed by targeted, intensive feedback. Participants learn to formulate and defend their point of view precisely - but at the same time to deal fairly with their negotiating partner. In this way, they create the basis for long-term and pleasant business contacts.
