Negotiating in Life Sciences

Short description

The outcome of some single negotiations can occasionally influence if companies will stay alive to see another day or if they reach the growth in revenue that they have forecasted to themselves or their investors. It may be clear that the stakes and stress levels can be very high. Being well prepared and confident in these situations is key. Your best starting point to getting there is to be part of this highly relevant and interactive training for Life Science experts.

Negotiation is something we all do—often without realizing it. But in the complex world of life sciences, where you're not just selling complex products but often shaping long-term partnerships, mastering negotiation is a must-have skill to be successfull.

Learning how to negotiate effectively is not something you learn at school. It is usually an auto-didactive learning program and the outcome depends on your teachers and experiences as you progress throughout your personal and professional life.

The trainers Martin Bakker (Bakker Life Science) and Justin van der Heemst (JR Sales Solutions), will make sure this training course isn’t just about general negotiation theory. Instead, participants will have to come prepared and the trainers will make sure the content, including it's industry business cases, will be relevant for the participants and their personal learning objectives. Combined with several workshops, the learning experience will be both practical and powerful.
