Negotiation Tactics Masterclass
What they don’t want you to know
The Negotiation Tactics Masterclasses have come to a close.
So, what’s next? It’s important to us to provide a bridge to further professional development opportunities identified by growers including financial literacy, business acumen, and management support.
We’ll be doing more in this space over the coming months.
This free, two-day Masterclass will support you and your staff with the knowledge needed to level the playing field – whether that playing field is with an agent, a retailer, energy, fertiliser, or any other provider of goods or services.
Work through practical scenarios that will help shift the balance back to your business. We can guarantee you will find something in this course that allows you to save a dollar or earn a dollar.
Whether you’re a seasoned grower, part of the sales team, or just looking to sharpen your negotiation skills don’t miss this opportunity.
Spaces are limited. Bookings are essential.
