Session I - Negotiation for IT Professionals

Whether it is for business items like salaries or for personal items like cars, or even interpersonal things with your spouse or children, you’re negotiating almost every minute of every day of your life.  In the US, however, we have been accustomed to accepting goods and services at list price… except for IT products purchased by enterprise business.  IT Professionals throughout these organizations know that negotiation is possible, but they’re rarely equipped with the skills to match their sales counterparts.  It’s time to stop bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Negotiation for IT Professionals is designed to level the playing field.  In this session, we will cover the Art of Negotiation – how to identify, prepare and set the negotiation table.  We will discuss and work through several Negotiation Approaches and Strategies, with practical IT-centric exercises to give you the hands-on ability to try out each lesson.  We’ll briefly discuss commercial terms and pricing considerations and we’ll conclude with a negotiation practicum bringing all of the material together.
