Cross-border Sales and Negotiations

Most professional salespersons are incredibly successful in their own country, or culture of origin. They have developed skills and approaches which have consistently brought them success in recruiting and maintaining clients.

However, when they go into international negotiations and face counterparts who share different values, views and practices, then outcome may become unpredictable. 

We are uniquely positioned to provide insights about how different cultural values translate into real-life business practices. 

We love what we do

Negotiations for Expansion Across Nations

​

Expansion may take the form of global market entry, merger, acquisition, franchising, or all of them. In all cases, it is a process involving cross-border negotiations.

​

Our hands-on, real life cases and interactive trainings help experienced negotiators to master skills for:

  • the 'unwritten rules of the game' at every stage of the negotiation or sales process and how to apply proven methods for success across different Culture Clusters 

  • how to build Trust and relationships with partners from all over the world

  • what persuasion tactics work in various cultural settings

  • what to expect in the post-negotiation process

  • cross-cultural perceptions about contractual obligations, customer service, warranty provisions, indemnification

      and more.
