RESULTS
We know that negotiation skills are the single most valuable skillset within your business. There is no other capability which can add so much to to your bottom line and continue to do so year after year.
Negotiation is uncomfortable, it can be stressful and pressurised. We believe the best way to prepare negotiators for these challenges is to recreate them in a safe training environment.
Here's how BreakPoint Black's approach has helped companies achieve excellence in negotiation.

Challenge
Ember’s growth had been supported by building an ambitious, energetic team, promoted within the business as it grew. With no common negotiation knowledge or skill level amongst key staff, they were unable to maximise the value available across their dealings with suppliers and retailers.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“BreakPoint Black's negotiation workshop was truly immersive; they created an environment where we were able to use their principles and heuristics straight away in 'real-life' scenarios. Experiencing the true pressures and challenges of real-life negotiation in a ’safe space’ with such artful teaching has prepared me exceptionally well for the real thing in my commercial arena.”
Michael Coombs | Head of Account Management | Deliveroo
“The BreakPoint Black workshop offers the perfect training for those who want to excel in a competitive landscape. Throughout the programme, you are immersed in activities that bring you out of your comfort zone to successfully mimic real life experiences, where you are given the tools and skills to negotiate your way out of challenging business scenarios. The training is comprehensive and covers everything from short term price negotiations to building long term partnerships. While daunting at times, their personal approach is highly effective in highlighting behavioural and linguistic patterns which are the key to maximising every deal. You will walk out of the workshop with a powerful self-awareness and knowledge of your strengths, weaknesses and how to manage them to your advantage in negotiations. This type of training should be mandatory in all companies! I highly recommend it. I will definitely be coming back for top-ups.”
