Companies Rank Negotiation Management Tops In Value And Need
New Survey Reveals that Many Companies Estimate the Value of Improved Negotiation Management at Over $1 Million; Shows Great Need for Negotiation Solutions
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) February 17, 2009 -- ExpertNegotiator® today announced the results of a recent survey of front-line corporate negotiators and their managers which show negotiation management solutions are in great need and have the potential to affect company profits by as much as $1 million or more. While research proves that negotiating strategically and implementing negotiation best practices has a powerful impact on the bottom line, most companies are leaving money on the table by relying on instinctive, off-the-cuff techniques and by not providing employees with effective negotiation strategies and tools.
According to the survey, more than 90% of respondents described implementing or improving their negotiation process as important or very important while only 30% said their employers have a formal and systematic negotiation process or guidelines for their front-line negotiators. Nearly half of all respondents identified the potential financial value of an improved negotiation management process at over $1 million. In these challenging economic times, companies must take the initiative to create, implement, and manage internal negotiation best practices.
Negotiation Evaluation and Data Retention is Critical:
Much tribal knowledge is being lost as more than 90% of corporations fail to capture and share valuable insights about their counterparts' negotiation styles and strategies. Nearly half of all respondents identified the lack of this information as a key negotiation challenge. Further, while 91% of respondents said documenting lessons learned from past negotiations would improve their negotiation results, only 28% said their employer currently does so. With this valuable knowledge falling through corporate intelligence cracks, it's no wonder that high performing organizations are demanding solutions that formally create and implement negotiation best practices.
