Training description
We invite you to a specialized workshop for purchasing department employees based on the author's method of Eveneum Negotiation Compass®!
Negotiations can be quite a stressful process, both for the buyer and the supplier, especially when based on beliefs and convictions rather than data analysis and proper preparations. We welcome buyers who believe that achieving agreements with their suppliers requires more than just a forceful approach.
Buyer's Negotiations is a workshop particularly useful for buyers, category managers, purchasing department directors, and managers from manufacturing companies.
If your company's success depends largely on cooperation with suppliers and multidimensional relationship management, and you purchase parts, services, or are responsible for CAPEX projects, then you have come to the right place!
The Eveneum Buyer's Negotiations workshop will help you systematize your approach to suppliers, strengthen the effective enforcement of purchasing strategies, and assist in building negotiation strategies tailored to the type of relationship you want to achieve. Negotiation exercises and situation analyses are tailored to both direct and indirect purchasing.
