Eveneum Negotiation Programs
"Negotiation training" is one of the most frequently searched phrase in terms of the training skills according to Google. There are plenty of freelancers, consultants or training companies offering Negotiation Skills development. And the first thing we are being asked by our Clients is what makes our method unique and so effective. We could close it in three elements:
- Method that is based on the real business experience
- Research program on negotiations
- Trainers continuously active in business negotiations
Nevertheless, to make your life easier and save your time that’s how we do it in Eveneum.
Negotiation Compass®
We like simplicity. That’s why by analyzing hundreds of the real life negotiations we have created our proprietary method of Eveneum Negotiation Compass®. It takes you through four levels of business relations
- Bargaining
- Concession Trading
- Relationship Building
- Value Creation
Each is specific and requires special approach. All are important and we treat all with due care. During our trainings you will practice how to deal effectively at each of the levels and what negotiation technics work the best for them. Negotiation Compass® and Negotiator E-360 are a real boosts guaranteeing effectiveness and satisfaction in every negotiation!
Negotiation Training Platform
Eveneum Negotiation Platform is the mission control center for our negotiation trainings. The platform has been created especially for our negotiation trainings to optimise user experience and management. Through the Eveneum Negotiation Platform we collect information about training expectations, self-evaluation, team’s feedback and prepare the Personal Negotiation E-360.
Personal Negotiator E-360. For individual development
Our involvement starts even before the training! People who join our negotiation programs complete on-line their Self-Evaluation that together with team’s and trainer’s feedback create the personal Negotiator E-360. It is a personal profile highlighting strong points and areas that require development. On 20+ pages You can find recommendations prepared especially for you. The Negotiator E-360 is available through the participant’s personal space on the Eveneum Negotiation Platform
Team Negotiation E-360. For the team development
Managing a team means also allocating people to the tasks that fit their personality, skills and experience. Lack of match can lead to frustration, lower than expected performance and dissatisfaction of the business partners. To avoid this we prepare for managers negotiation profiles of their teams. It is a clear recommendation how to allocate team members to different business partners according to the expected type of relations. And last but not least, we can show you how your team compares with other companies
The Negotiaton Book – all you need in one place
The compendium of the negotiation knowledge prepared by Eveneum. It covers 9 chapters essential for the skillful negotiator, including a set of forms for effective preparation.
Great coaching for those who want to more consciously use negotiation technics. Confrontation with myself during video recording was a very useful experience. I recommend it to every experienced negotiator.

Negotiation training in bullet points
In a logic manner we go through the entire negotiation process - starting with market and data analysis, surveillance about the partner, individual or team preparation, conducting negotiation and closing in line with expected business relations. We practice roles during the team negotiations and how to effectively use authority of the manager.
- Experiential Learning – learning by doing, negotiating real life cases. We believe the best to train adults is to first let them try and then discuss what could have been done differently. Especially if they are video recorded and receive instant and personal feedback 🙂
- Entertraining Philosophy – all our trainings require full involvement but we ensure you have a lot of fun! We link professional TRAINING and ENTERTAINEMENT. That is why we call them entertrainings!
- Preparation Tools (seller / buyer) – 90% of the success in the negotiations depends on the proper preparation. Participants of our trainings receive set of user friendly tools that help them in preparation, formalize and standardize preparation process across departments and once approved are passports for latter negotiation. It includes market analysis, power balance, personal aspects and stakeholders management. Our forms often become the standard tools for our Clients facilitating communication and saving time
New negotiation trainings - we continuously develop our offer!
- Remote Negotiation - already before the Covid-19 crisis we have developed program that helps negotiators during the social distancing and in remote communication. We focus on practicing technics that have immediate impact on the negotiator's performance, self-confidence and build up their authority without the face-to-face contact. After the training participants will know how to manage the remote negotiation process more effectively and achieve result quicker, easier and with more satisfaction!
- Analytical Negotiations – this training is about the power of data in negotiations. Training helps buyers to develop their argumentation and reasoning based on facts rather than opinions. We cover for example: Data Mining; Cost Breakdown & TCO; The Linear Cost Model…
- In-class and On-line - our trainings are available in both versions. You can choose F2F or on-line. Be invited! 🙂
