We're excited to offer a brand new event as part of our public workwhop program: CMA's Negotiation Skills Masterclass, running on Wednesday 29 June in Melbourne.
Facilitated by our Senior Consultant Elaine Lin, who brings expertise from teaching at Harvard Law School and its Program on Negotiation, our Negotiation Skills Masterclass is a unique learning experience that we’ve created specifically for our negotiation alumni.
CMA Senior Consultant Rebecca Stowe offers her advice in response to a recent query on a property purchase:
Q. I’m trying to purchase a house, which has been advertised as “private sale” by a real estate agent. The price the vendor has specified seems ambitious, and as a purchaser, I’m keen to pay as low a price as possible. While I know the agent’s priority is to represent the vendor’s interests, what can I do so that the agent will assist me in reaching an outcome I’ll be happy with?
Senior Consultant Rebecca Stowe offers this advice on how to manage the dreaded "no" within a negotiation. Read what she has to say here...
Q. Sometimes, despite my best efforts to understand a customer’s needs and to come up with creative options, my counterpart rejects even my best offer and decides to go with our biggest competitor. What do I do when I am faced with a firm ‘no’ after ongoing attempts to come up with a deal that will be good for both of us?
