Are you uncomfortable negotiating for your business? Learn this valuable skill to help you get what you want and be more successful.

Negotiation doesn't have to be scary and stressful! Learn how to communicate what you want so you can enter into a mutual agreement with customers, contractors, employees, vendors, and more.

In this 2-hour class, you will learn valuable negotiation skills you can use to help you with:

  • Shifting your pricing mindset
  • How to set a pricing strategy
  • How to negotiate pricing + contracts 101
  • What a value exchange list is why you need one
  • When (and when not) to trade

This workshop is for the business owner who wants to become more comfortable setting expectations with customers and setting pricing that reflects the value of their products/services, and feeling more confident having conversations that require negotiation.

You'll leave with new tips and tools you can use in your business and the confidence to ask for (and get) what you want so you can reach a new level of success.
