An Introduction to Negotiation Skills for Insurance Professionals

Speaker: Jeff Heasman, The Pyramid Group

Good negotiation skills are crucial to many different roles within the insurance industry and though we may not realise it, most of our day-to-day work centres around negotiations. That said, little or no formal training is devoted towards these essential skills specifically within the insurance industry.

This is an interactive and fun session that introduces the key elements of good negotiation skills. An insurance related scenario will be used to contextualize the skills taught.

Learning objectives: By the end of this session, delegates will be able to describe: 1. Recognise the essential qualities of a good negotiator 2. Understand the importance of thorough planning and preparation 3. Identify when the negotiation process starts and the different styles and strategies 4. Appreciate the importance and impact of language in the negotiation process
