Negotiations and Handling Objections Masterclass

Objections and tough negotiation moments are where most commercial deals are won or lost. This masterclass combines advanced negotiation strategy with practical objection handling: understanding why buyers object, using the LAER approach of listening, acknowledging, exploring and responding, handling price, timing, competitor and authority objections, protecting value with planned concessions, recognising pressure tactics, and closing with commitment. Intensive role plays reflect negotiations with procurement departments, government tender committees and family-owned businesses in the Gulf, where relationships and patience shape outcomes.
