Negotiating with Backbone

Need to recalibrate or strengthen your negotiation skills? This program teaches you the fundamentals of negotiating with a backbone.

What’s Included

Most procurement managers and professional buyers receive negotiation training every quarter. How are you preparing your sales team to negotiate with these expertly trained professionals? Backbone BASICS is a self-paced digital learning solution for any seller looking to improve price negotiations. Offered as part of our Negotiating with Backbone lineup, Backbone BASICS packages the right concepts, skills, and tools into consumable modules that increase salespeople’s confidence to negotiate higher prices and close more deals. The 18 self-paced micro modules are traditionally provided as required pre-work for a broader Negotiating with Backbone initiative but are offered complimentary to you through the Highspot marketplace.

  • Drive better understanding and defense of value in tough negotiations
  • Identify the tactics that disguise poker playing buyers
  • Develop a value proposition with Give-Gets to reinforce the value you deliver
