Consultancy

We can help you on specific negotiations, whatever they may be. If you have a big discussion coming up, we can advise on strategy and tactics to get the result you want from it. And we’re fairly sure that in most cases the ROI will make it a no-brainer.

Frequently, people who are excellent in their field lack confidence in negotiations. Not surprisingly, really, since they spend many years developing their specialist skills but will have had no formal development in negotiation.

So it can be worthwhile getting a bit of help from someone who has spent years doing it. And the maths can be quite simple: how much do you expect to save or gain from your deal? Our advice will almost certainly cost less than that.

Here are just some examples of the type of issue we can help with:

 

Salary Negotiation

This is one of the most important negotiations you make!

Just think of how much a 10% increase will bring you. Our fees will be a lot less than that!

 

Freelance Rates

Many freelance professionals are excellent at their job but they are not comfortable when it comes to discussing fees. And yet a small improvement in their ability to negotiate could make a huge difference in their income.

Even if they only got a 10% increase, over a year that would be many thousand pounds. We are the negotiation experts and we believe that there are some very simple things that you can do that will increase your earnings significantly.

The ROI is high, it really is a no-brainer.

 

Re-negotiating a supplier contract

Let’s say your CEO tells you that you have to re-negotiate all your supplier contracts and get the same service at a 20% discount. Ouch, its going to be tough.

But it’s possible. We can help you.

    Jonathan Jay, M.D. at Nationwide Alliance of Business Owners

    My coaching with Simon was invaluable. He’s a great sounding-board offering practical guidance, building confidence and helping to allay those niggling questions of ‘can I do this?’. Highly recommended!

    AJ, Head of Local Strategic Communications, Office for Security & Counter-Terrorism

    Very practical tools which have immediate application. I love the fact that we were challenged by Simon and made to leave our comfort zones. I didnt expect to learn so much or for the learning to be so beneficial or to enjoy it so thoroughly. Simon was a brilliant trainer.

    Relevant, informative and very enjoyable. Excellent course leader.

    Manager, magic circle law firm

    The day was well planned. The exercises were extremely powerful and the tools that I acquired over the course of the day I have found easy to apply in my everyday life. The course is practical, insightful and challenging and lasts long after the day has ended.
