“LSA Global’s sales negotiation training and consulting provided sales negotiation tools and practices that have significantly enhanced our negotiations process and performance. Their experts understood our business, its challenges and framed the solution to drive margins and relationships.

I am very happy with the value we received and highly recommend LSA to others looking to improve their sales negotiations performance.”

Jeff Bizzack | President | ServiceSource

“What I liked best was the 100% focus on live sales negotiation opportunities. We put over 100 negotiations through the process and had immediate impact.

Furthermore, using the blended approach of technology and live consulting, we achieved these results with our sales team only being out of the field one day.”

Monte Roy | Senior Vice President of Sales | Information Builder

“LSA Global not only provided our team with the skills to negotiate effectively and consistently, but we further expanded our relationship to include consulting around our negotiations’ process, measurement of our negotiations, and one-on-one coaching for our team members.

We are very pleased with the result of our partnership with LSA Global.”

Vivian Mackintosh | Vice President of Materiel | Space Systems Loral, Inc.

More than half of sales leaders don’t believe their sellers have the negotiation skills to consistently win new business in a way that makes sense.  This is not surprising since the majority of sellers continue to lower price when pressured by buyers.

  • Are you giving price concessions in order to win business?
  • Would you like to increase margins and revenue?
  • Is it important to increase win-rates in competitive situations?
  • Are your sales cycles too long?
  • Do you have unbalanced relationships with your customers?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, our Sales Negotiation Training is for you.

Description
Sales Negotiation Training provides the principles and techniques required for building long-term and mutually beneficial client relationships while simultaneously meeting aggressive sales revenue and margin targets.

This proven Sales Negotiation Training helps you to prepare for, understand, and conduct sales negotiations across a range of different and difficult situations while preserving credibility, providing the best solutions, and protecting margins.

Sales Negotiation enables those professionals who meet with clients face-to-face to consider sales negotiating — not as a stumbling block — but as a good opening for success.

During the intensive two-day sales negotiation workshop each participant views a current sales negotiation opportunity from the perspective of the customer’s decision process and to practice both procedural and contractual negotiations.

The interactive design includes negotiation skill application, group exercises, role plays, video-based instruction, modeling, negotiation planning, and negotiation coaching.

Outcomes and Benefits
Sales teams that have learned how to effectively implement the Sales Negotiation Training typically achieve:

  • Less need to discount the price in order to win deals
  • Improved revenue and margins
  • Increased wins over the competition
  • Reduced sales cycles
  • Strengthened customer relationships based not on price, but on value
  • Greater credibility and status during the decision-making process

Target Audience
This proven sales negotiation program is specifically designed for sales, support, and service professionals, managers, and executives for whom long-term success is dependent on long-term relationships.

Online Options
We offer targeted eLearning sales negotiation services online to be used as stand-alone learning or in conjunction with our other sales negotiation products and services at various phases.

  • Web Based ROI
    This online tool provides web-based management of your entire sales negotiation initiative from communicating your negotiation strategy, to managing the ongoing implementation of the negotiations process, measuring outcomes and — for the first time ever — providing your firm with a database of key negotiating variables.
  • Web Based Training
    This online sales negotiations course provides Strategic Sales Negotiation content in a module-based web offering. It allows individuals to work through the online negotiations workshop at their own pace, as well as provides testing on the concepts and process.
  • Web Based Reinforcement
    This online negotiations content provides reinforcement of the Strategic Negotiation Process for blueprinting a negotiation for individuals who have already attended an instructor-led negotiations workshop or completed the full online negotiations version. Individuals can work through the negotiation modules at their convenience and then complete their work with a final exam.

We pride ourselves on measuring and quantifying the impact of training and development. In addition to our standard sales negotiation training and coaching satisfaction metrics, LSA uses (pre-workshop) training assessment and (post-workshop) training measurement options in support of our core belief in the transfer of training to deliver measurable business impact.

We originally engaged with LSA Global to help our subcontract administrators and buyers develop better negotiations skills. As manufacturers of satellites, we have many sole source companies to procure the required parts.

Our teams must be able to interact effectively with international companies. This environment uniquely challenges our team in their ability to create equitable contracts, while preserving and strengthening our supplier relationships.

LSA Global not only provided our team with the skills to negotiate effectively and consistently, but we further expanded our relationship to include consulting around our negotiations’ process, measurement of our negotiations, and one-on-one coaching for our team members. We are very pleased with the result of our partnership with LSA Global.

What a refreshing change from the half-baked psycho-babble you normally get from training and consulting organizations. LSA gives you the practical and results-oriented assistance you need to define and reach your goals.

Their leadership, management, and sales expertise has been invaluable.  They think strategically and provide a results driven plan – not just a temporary fix.

They are great to work with, and even more importantly, they “get it!”
