Program Professional Framework
Negotiations and Handling Objections Masterclass
Program Overview
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.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project

Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
