Negotiation Quotient
Develop the skills that defend margin
Play Trailer
In today’s world, where competition is intense 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 the skills that increase profitability in all situations, from transactional sales to long-term strategic agreements.
SPARXiQ-trained negotiators are uniquely capable of countering tough tactics and crafting superior win-win agreements.
