Workshop

Fact-Based Negotiation

Workshop focused on data-driven negotiations: how to build argumentation based on should-cost, benchmarks and market analysis, how to reject unjustified price increases, how to conduct price conversations based on facts, not intuition.

Fact-based argumentation changes the nature of negotiations - from positional combat to a dialogue grounded in cost logic.
