Contract Negotiation
Soft Skills and Communication
Contract negotiation is the process of discussing and revising the terms of an agreement between two or more parties to reach mutually acceptable conditions on price, scope, liability, timelines, and other obligations. It requires skills in persuasion, active listening, and understanding leverage, and is used by professionals in sales, procurement, legal, and business development. Effective negotiators aim to protect their organization's interests while preserving a workable relationship with the counterparty.
