1 Assess your needs

Before you invest in any training program, you need to assess your current situation and identify your goals and gaps. What are the main challenges and opportunities that your import and export team faces when negotiating with vendors? What are the skills and behaviors that you want to enhance or change? How do you measure and evaluate your negotiation performance and outcomes? You can use various methods to gather this information, such as surveys, interviews, feedback, audits, or benchmarks.

In my opinion the company needs to first identify the participants for vendor negotiation trainings. Participant identification should be based on the roles of participants in the organization. Employees that are part of the procurement, supply chain and vendor financial management and are actively involved in different correspondence with vendors should be picked. Once participants are selected the company should focus on type of negotiation trainings, as negotiations with vendors could range from discussing a trivial payment issue to settling a larger corporate matter on the table.

Según nuestra experiencia, la clave para una buena negociación es el conocimiento, evaluar la situación; cuanto más sepamos sobre el tema, sobre el topico más poder tendrás en la mesa de negociación. Para obtener un resultado favorable en cualquier negociación, es indispensable contar con el conocimiento necesario. Cuanto más informados y capacitados estemos acerca del tema en cuestión, más confianza y poder tendremos a la hora de negociar. El conocimiento nos permite argumentar de manera sólida y respaldar nuestras propuestas, lo que aumenta nuestras posibilidades de éxito en la negociación.

2 Choose your format

Once you have a clear picture of your needs, you can choose the most suitable format and delivery method for your vendor negotiation training. Depending on your budget, time, and resources, you can opt for online or offline, individual or group, self-paced or instructor-led, or a combination of these options. You can also decide whether to use external or internal trainers, or a mix of both. The key is to select a format that matches your learning objectives, audience, and context.

3 Design your content

The content of your vendor negotiation training should be relevant, engaging, and practical. You want to provide your import and export team with the knowledge, skills, and tools that they can apply immediately and effectively in their real-life scenarios. You can use case studies, simulations, role-plays, exercises, or games to illustrate and practice the negotiation concepts and techniques. You can also customize your content to reflect your industry, market, and culture.

En nuestro trabajo cotidiano, la simulación del peor escenario legal y económico, nos ayuda a anticipar posibles obstáculos y a buscar soluciones creativas para alcanzar decisiones beneficiosas para todas las partes involucradas en las situaciones mas complejas. En resumen, el dise?o de eventuales situaciones adversas, nos da una ventaja, para que en caso que ocurra, dar una vuelta de rumbo comercial.

4 Implement your plan

To implement your vendor negotiation training plan, you need to communicate it clearly and consistently to your import and export team and other stakeholders. You need to explain the purpose, benefits, and expectations of the training, and how it aligns with your company's vision and values. You also need to provide the necessary support and resources for the training, such as materials, equipment, time, and feedback. You can use various channels and platforms to deliver and reinforce your training messages, such as emails, newsletters, intranet, or webinars.

5 Evaluate your results

The final step of incorporating vendor negotiation training into your company's culture is to evaluate its results and impact. You need to collect and analyze data and feedback from your import and export team and other sources, such as vendors, customers, or managers. You need to compare the pre- and post-training performance and outcomes, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the training program. You also need to celebrate the achievements and recognize the improvements of your team, and plan for future actions and follow-ups.

Personalmente, intento aprender a escuchar activamente. Creo que hay que tener en cuanta siempre la comunicación porque no solo se trata de hablar, también se trata de escuchar y comprender las necesidades de la otra parte/empresa. Debemos reflexionar sobre la importancia de la comunicación efectiva en el proceso de negociación. Aprender a escuchar activamente es fundamental para identificar nuestros principales retos y oportunidades.
