Understanding Online Negotiation Training Courses

By Beryl Dalton


There are a plethora of universities and classes which offer on-campus and distance learning. Some are professional schools which offer both online and on-campus coursework. When it comes to online negotiation training, individuals can often find both online and on-campus programs. Some of the best of these are now online which use different icons, avatars and characters in various training modules.

The coursework involved in each program often covers different types of negotiations, positional and interest-based teaching how to work independently and as part of a team. Students also learn the difference between difficult and deceptive patterns, strategies for making cold calls, and how to begin the process for best results. There are often a number of in-person cold calls, telephone calls, and other types of business applications included during different training sessions.

Course leaders will often provide a number of different situations for students to work through either alone or with a group. Once the instructor sees the results, those who negotiate most efficiently often move ahead. While, those failing to make good deals, or the best deal possible in some scenarios must often repeat the process.

Once a distance learning student is set up with the proper icons, the learning and hard work begin. Each character is generally programmed to ask questions, often very tough questions which the student must answer, then report any emotional responses along with the answers to the instructor. After which, the instructor looks to see how the character, or avatar responded to the ability of the student to negotiate.

Obtaining and providing good deals is nothing less than art. Unfortunately, unlike pure art, it is not a gift most people have from birth. As such, those working in fields in which negotiations are part of daily life often need to complete this type course to be as successful as possible when it comes to negotiating on a professional level. Those who negotiate on a personal basis with family, friends, roommates and others have also found these courses to be quite beneficial.

While most exercises are based on real world events, simulated experiences often allow students to act in ways that would otherwise not be accepted in the real world. There are far more real world experiences throughout the terms of the course with a variety of subjects and topics depending on the area in which the course may be offered.

When obtaining positive results, it is important to keep and review any notes one had prior to the scenario or situation in which one was successful. In doing so, it is easier to work with similar situations which might arise later in life. After all, practice makes perfect goes for learning how to negotiate as much as learning how to play a piano.

Students whom have attended these courses often have great things to say. One student suggest that the scenarios were quite realistic, and aided in negotiations even while still in school. While others, whether currently in similar situations or otherwise have reported learning a great deal that could be useful in the future.
