Mastery
Introducing Navigator, the advanced negotiation program, empowering suppliers to achieve greater success when dealing with grocery retailers.
Negotiating with major retailers is high stakes. There is relentless pressure on suppliers to lower prices and increase investments. Australian F&B suppliers continue to experience real challenges in consistently delivering profits and operating margins.
The NAVIGATOR difference
Navigator is a unique negotiation program designed to empower Australian suppliers with negotiation skills for successful dealings with grocery retailers.
The program offers targeted guidance with new tools and tactics to reach profitable outcomes from complex negotiations.
It’s tailored to the specific needs of Australian suppliers equipping them to navigate unique challenges and level the playing field between suppliers and retailers, ultimately achieving their commercial goals.
The Framework
It all starts with the Negotiation Context. Once you establish the environment and dynamics in which you are negotiating, and have defined your objectives, you can select the right negotiation approach.
Understanding and building your power position enables you to select the right negotiation tools for the job. One size does not fit all! The Engagement Framework and Personal Performance modules ensure you are truly match fit to optimise the negotiation.
Resilience and Tactics are critical in major negotiations that inevitably take weeks or sometimes months.
