Influencing Suppliers, Colleagues, and Management - Course 3575

Description:

Course 3575, Influencing Suppliers, Colleagues, and Management teaches you how to negotiate better deals by influencing or persuading those individuals you deal with at work or anywhere else. The online negotiation course tells you how to persuade others by the proper way you talk, the appropriate way you look, and how you behave.  You will learn the importance of dressing properly, having proper body language, and expressing your interest in what others are also interested in. Using the information in this online negotiation and management class is proven effective by a wide range of experiments and research studies, as well as the experience of professional buyers, managers, and executives. The online management class will also warn you to beware of scam artists who use these similar methods against you to achieve their unscrupulous ends. The online management class was developed by Harry Hough, an experienced negotiator, consultant, and business executive.
