Negotiation Communication and Written Deal Correspondence

Deals across African business are increasingly shaped in writing, through offer letters, counterproposals, term summaries and follow up emails that carry as much weight as the meeting itself. Careless wording concedes ground or sours a relationship. This course develops the communication skills to negotiate persuasively in person and to capture agreements in writing that protect your position.
