SPECIAL START TIME THIS MONTH - PANEL STARTS AT 3:30PM
Join us for: Win Without Losing: How to Negotiate Without Killing the Relationship
Negotiation is a part of everyday business, whether you realize it or not. Entrepreneurs negotiate payment terms with clients, pricing with vendors, deadlines with contractors—and even salaried employees negotiate when accepting a job or managing responsibilities. Even in situations with fixed pricing, negotiation still happens in the form of service levels, delivery timelines, or extra value. The key isn't whether you negotiate—it's how you do it without damaging the trust and connection that make your business run.
This panel discussion will focus on high-stakes, relationship-sensitive negotiations—like when a major client or vendor represents a large share of your revenue. How do you protect your business interests without triggering a backlash? We'll explore ways to approach these conversations with clarity, confidence, and empathy.
You’ll learn how to separate people from the problem, frame your needs as mutually beneficial, and preserve goodwill even when making firm asks. Good negotiation isn’t a win-lose—it’s finding a way forward that protects your bottom line while strengthening the relationship.
