In today’s business environment, where competition is broad and margins are narrow, sales teams cannot afford to leave money on the table.
The reality is that over 70% of buyers have been professionally trained in negotiation skills and, sadly, less than 15% of salespeople have received similar training. The playing field is uneven, resulting in sellers compromising margin to get a sale when a buyer uses negotiation tactics.
Negotiation Quotient (NQ) teaches sales professionals to capture the value they’ve created, increasing profitability in the process.
SPARXiQ-trained negotiators are uniquely capable of countering tough tactics and crafting superior win-win agreements.

Set Better Targets
