Why do you need coaching?
People should be negotiating – or renegotiating all the time – in their personal, social, and especially in their business lives.
Negotiating is an essential life skill, and it’s a learned skill.
If you think you’re already a good negotiator – think again! What worked five or ten years ago may not work anymore. You need Michael E. Sloopka’s specialized negotiating coaching expertise to compete and win in today’s competitive marketplace. You won’t get the specific help you need to address your unique negotiating challenges from reading a book – or searching for online tips.
Negotiating is something that many businesspeople and individuals tend to avoid – or they negotiate poorly. Also, many people are intimidated by the prospect and process of negotiating – they often view negotiating as an uncomfortable haggling and bargaining process that may involve confrontation, anxiety, and stress – especially when negotiating with customers, clients, suppliers, colleagues, employees, and family members!
Perhaps you’re concerned about being taken advantage of in your negotiations – or missing out on potential opportunities. Your customers, clients, suppliers, and colleagues are becoming more skilled, sophisticated, and savvy negotiators. Therefore, you need a negotiating coach and expert to help you improve your skills and optimize your outcomes.
