“Practical Negotiating Skills” 

The study of Negotiation is fascinating.  Not just in the world of real estate brokerage, but many areas of our lives.  Unfortunately, Americans tend not to get much practice negotiating the way other cultures do.  This course teaches you not just negotiating skills and gambits, but how we can practice our negotiating skills and bring them into our personal lives.  This course teaches different personality types and the different ways to deal with them.  Gambits and tactics like “silence,” “decoys,”  “question squared,” and “good guy – bad guy” are discussed and practiced.  A negotiating course like this is absolutely essential for real estate practitioners both seasoned and new.
