Did you know that on average, 5% of the deal value is given away in a typical negotiation? And what's even more scary is that this could equal up to 50% of your profit! 📉 If you could prevent this, you would right? Have you heard of Trading Variables? This is where you offer something else in the negotiation process other than price. So how does it work? 🤔 ✔️ You need to know what you have to trade and prioritise in order of cost and perceived value ✔️ Be mean! Don't give a concession unless you absolutely need to ✔️ Think about the cost of the concession to your business and what you expect back in return ✔️ Remember, these are not giveaways. If you give, expect and demand something back, even if that is a commitment ✔️ Think about your timing ✔️ And expect that you will have to use them at some stage, even if you don't actually need to So what are some examples of trading variables? Warranty Delivery terms Credit terms Bulk savings Incentives Rebates Give this a try next time you're negotiating 🗣️ Keen to find out more about the modules and models our Level 4 Sales Apprenticeship teaches?

✨SKILLS HIGHLIGHT✨ Negotiation is a crucial part of the sales process, why wouldn't you want to upskill in this area? Click on the below to find out all about the ZOMA model... BMS Progress #negotiation #salesskills #salesperformance #salestraining #CPD #fundedtraining #levy #apprenticeships
This one is for those of you that want to improve your negotiation skills 🤝 Have you heard of ZOMA? ZOMA is 'Your Zone of Mutual Agreement' and is the area where an agreement is to the satisfaction of both seller and buyer. It essentially refers to the area between walk-away positions in a negotiation, sometimes called the bargaining zone. For example: Say you're selling a product and your selling range is £1600 - £2300, and your buyer's buying range is £1,400 - £2,000. The zone of mutual agreement is from £1600 - £2,000, so you have £400 of common ground to find a compromise. When you know the ZOMA, and where you and your potential buyer are aligned, you, a skilled negotiator, can create an agreement that is most favourable for you and the parties you're negotiating with. So, how do you find the ZOMA? Know your BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) Do your research and plan Anticipate expectations Be curious Expect the unexpected Stay flexible Consider the whole picture Get in touch today and find out how we can help you elevate your sales teams through our Level 4 Sales Executive Apprenticeships and bespoke sales training 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKGhe4DJ #Sales #Negotiation #SalesModels #SalesTips #NegotiationTips #Apprenticeships #Education

Think you’re too busy to learn? That’s exactly why you need to. One objection I hear a lot is about the 20% off-the-job learning requirement for apprenticeships. For most, that’s about six hours per week, and the first question is always: How on earth can I find six hours to study when I’m already at capacity in my job? It’s a valid concern. Whether you’re on a 35 or 40-hour contract, most people are maxed out. The idea of squeezing in six hours of learning feels impossible. And I get it. But here’s what I tell those who raise this concern: the activities in your off-the-job learning hours make you better at your job. Unless you think you’re at the peak of your professional competence and there’s zero room for growth, this is an opportunity to become even better. For example, if you’re on our Level 7 Senior Sales Leadership program, you might learn to run more effective meetings with your team. The time you spend applying what you’ve learned directly impacts your job performance—it’s practical, it’s real-world, and it pays off not only for you but for your entire team. So, is it six extra hours—or is it an investment that elevates your game? #Apprenticeships #LearningAndDevelopment #GrowthMindset #SalesLeadership
