Negotiation in Business and Sales

You may not realize it, but negotiations are a constant part of life. In business, negotiations are key parts of a corporation’s strategy. In your personal life, negotiations play the same role - you negotiate which movie to watch with your friends or what apartment to rent with your partner. This course will introduce you to the concepts behind negotiation and provide opportunities to practice and develop your own negotiating style.
