Overview

Most negotiation training explains tactics and then ends, so reps return to the call with the old habits. This deck is built for practice: each slide explains one idea, shows it on a worked example, and then gives the group a task. It moves from preparation and interests through trade-offs and tactics to a role-play scored against a rubric.

The sample is for Netherby Distribution, a wholesale distributor, and runs a half-day course with a shared trade table, four tactics and a role-play about a supply contract. Every name, price and figure is fictional. Replace the examples with real calls and deals from your own team, rewrite the role-play with your product and buyer, and set the pass mark to your coaching standard.

Useful for

  • A sales trainer running a half-day negotiation course for account executives
  • A procurement lead preparing a supplier negotiation with a clear floor and three trades
  • An enablement lead checking that new reps pass the role-play before taking live calls

What's included

  • Preparation: four steps and three numbers every rep should know before a call
  • Interests: a table of what each side wants, fears and can say on the call
  • Trade-offs: a comparison of three offers and a two-by-two of where to concede
  • Tactics: four cards on anchoring, silence, trades and naming the floor
  • Role-play: four steps from brief to score, with drills to run this week
  • Make it yours: numbered steps for replacing the examples, rubric and pass mark

Questions

Are the company, people and figures fictional?

Yes. Netherby Distribution, the trainers, the buyers and every offer and price in this deck are fictional. Replace them with real examples from your own team, anonymised, before you run a course.

How much of the session should be practice?

At least 40% of the time should be practice. A rep who only hears the tactics will not use them on a call, so each module should end in a task that the group completes.

What should a role-play be scored on?

Use a rubric from 0 to 4 on five criteria, such as preparation, opening offer, trades, silence and close. Score the behaviour on the call, not how well the trainee remembered the slides.
