About the Class
One of The Black Swan Group’s Laws of Negotiation Gravity™ is: There is always a team on the other side. Among that team is someone as important as the deal maker: the deal killer. Why is the deal killer just as important? The Black Swan Group came across some information indicating that 50 percent of a major telecommunications carrier’s signed deals were never implemented.
Join Derek Gaunt and co-instructor Sandy Hein in this advanced course, to be equipped with the necessary tools in order to
- Unveil the deal killer
- Ultimately limit adversarial interactions present in the negotiation.
This (1) 90-minute course includes a 15-minute formal Q & A!
