What do you do if your retail team is resistant to change during negotiations?
When you're in the thick of negotiations and your retail team is digging their heels in against change, it can feel like you're trying to sail against the wind. Change can be daunting, and resistance is a natural response, especially in a high-stakes retail environment where every decision can impact the bottom line. The key is to steer the ship with a steady hand, understanding that negotiation is not just about reaching an agreement, but also about managing change effectively. Your role is to guide your team through the turbulent waters of change, ensuring that everyone arrives safely at the destination: a successful, mutually beneficial agreement.
