Sales Negotiation: Protect Price, Scope and Profit

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

A deal can close and still damage your business. Price is only one part of the agreement. Scope, timing, responsibilities and concessions can quietly consume the margin you thought you had protected. This course brings the whole commercial decision into view.

Sales Negotiation: Protect Price, Scope and Profit helps you move from knowing the terminology to making a better decision in a specific business situation. Work through reservation points, value evidence, conditional trades, package comparisons and practical agreement constraints. You will test the assumptions behind a proposed concession and distinguish an internal economic screen from a final commercial decision.

I’m Dr. Law Payne. My background includes a Doctor of Business Administration specializing in Organizational Leadership and Development, alongside a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Marketing. I bring that business and leadership perspective into the practical choices we examine together.

I created this course for b2B sales professionals, consultants, agency owners, account managers and business owners negotiating commercial agreements. You can work with the fictional cases provided and then adapt the tools to a situation from your own work.

Across ten teaching lectures in two sections, you will diagnose the decision, inspect the evidence, compare possible responses and practise an integrated application. The cases are designed to make you think: what do we know, what are we assuming, and what would justify the next step?

I personally designed the downloadable practice materials to help you put the teaching to work. Your tools include Commercial Decision Brief, Reservation Point and Authority, Value Evidence and Claim Review. Open the relevant lesson’s Resources area, complete your own attempt, and use the worked examples to compare your reasoning. The exercises help you identify missing information, explain your choices and turn the lesson into a usable work product.

Bring a willingness to examine your assumptions. You do not need a specialist qualification, expensive software or a perfect real-world case. Pause when prompted, make the decision yourself and revisit your answer as new information appears.
