OPTION 1
Project-based Coaching and Consulting
If you or members of your organization are involved in any high-value, high-stakes negotiation project, I can help improve results! Through my powerful behind-the-scenes negotiating coaching and consulting services, I’ll help people apply my proven negotiating process and methodology, strategies, tactics, questions, questioning techniques, and impactful results-producing phrases and scripts in your real-world negotiations. Also, I’ll teach people how to respond – and what to say or write – during every negotiation phase – and effectively counter the other side’s shrewd moves.
I can even serve as your representative at the negotiating table by using my 30 years of negotiating experience to help create a potential Win-Win outcome. In some negotiations, it can be advantageous for me to represent you – or your company at the negotiating table to deliver the best results and outcomes.
OPTION 2
Retainer-based Negotiation Coaching
You or members of your organization will inevitably encounter negotiating challenges throughout the year. Thus, my retainer-based coaching program can help individuals or team members prepare and plan for a negotiation, identify the opening negotiating position and desired outcome, and develop optimal negotiating strategies, tactics, gambits, and corresponding countergambits, phrases, scripts, questions, and questioning techniques.
With this retainer-based coaching option, you or team members can access Michael’s proven negotiating expertise and advice exactly when needed. For this coaching option, an organization agrees to invest in purchasing recurring blocks of time for weekly or monthly coaching sessions.
