Bermuda — July 9, 2009

  • THE CHALLENGE
  • How can you get more value out of down market negotiations without damaging working relationships?
  • Have you or your colleagues ever felt stuck, or not sure what to do next?
  • What should you say when asked to reduce fees or change your practices in light of market conditions?
  • How should you ask others to reduce fees or change their practices in light of market conditions?
  • Where can you get practical advice on how to deal with difficult tactics in down market environments (positional bargaining, threats, lying, personal attacks, strong emotions, etc.)?
  • THE RISK-FREE SOLUTION
  • The one-day Insight Partners Negotiation Skills Workshop is grounded in theory developed at the Harvard Negotiating in Down Markets Workshop and interpreted by our many years of collective experience in the classroom and in the field.
