Successful Strategies for Negotiating with Decisionmakers - Episode 32

Successful Strategies for Negotiating with Decisionmakers - Episode 32

Whether you love it or hate it, negotiating with decisionmakers is part of the job of a nonprofit leader.  You have to negotiate with funders, contracting partners, policymakers, and more.  Like most things, negotiation is a lot more enjoyable when you get good at it.  The secret of those who love negotiating is they’ve learned the keys to success, and developed the skills to use them well.

In this episode, we share those keys, and show you how you can rapidly improve your negotiation skills and success rate starting today.  

In this episode, we share:

  • The two most powerful ingredients for a successful negotiation
  • The most common mistake that will rob you of your negotiating power
  • The three beliefs that will block your success 
  • The most important questions to answer before negotiation begins
  • How to make a successful counteroffer
  • How to know when to say no to a deal

If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.

Thanks!
