„Absolutely incredible and well versed!“

Equip your international teams to secure margins and handle tough negotiators.
Whether your corporate language is English or your teams operate globally, mastering negotiations requires more than just language skills—it requires a unified strategy. We deliver premium, evidence-based inhouse negotiation training for corporate clients in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and across Europe.

Methodology: Beyond Basic Tactics

We do not teach aggressive "win-lose" tricks that damage long-term business relationships. Instead, our methodology—Fusion Learning—combines academic rigor with hard-hitting corporate reality.

Our seminars are rooted in the Harvard Concept (Principled Negotiation), game theory, and modern behavioral economics. Your teams will learn how to analyze their BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement), leverage the ZOPA (Zone of Possible Agreement), and counter psychological manipulation tactics effectively.

Specialized Corporate Training Tracks

A generic approach fails when facing specialized counterparts. We tailor our negotiation seminars to your specific business unit.

For Procurement & Purchasing

Equip your buyers to handle price increases and navigate monopolistic suppliers. We integrate AI-driven Cost Engineering into the negotiation preparation to challenge supplier margins with hard facts.

For Sales & Key Account Management

Stop the discounting spiral. We train your sales force to defend list prices, handle objections, and secure profitable deals against professional, highly-trained procurement teams.

Why Choose the Schoen Negotiation Institute?

  • Expert Trainers: Led by Dr. Raphael Schoen (Ph.D. in Cross-Cultural Negotiations) and a team of former C-Level executives and CPOs.
  • Real-Life Simulations: We do not use abstract case studies. We use your actual, upcoming deals for our training scenarios to ensure immediate ROI.
  • Scientific Authority: Our strategies are backed by empirical research and recognized globally (Top 3% Research Interest Score on ResearchGate).
  • Inhouse Convenience: We come to your headquarters—be it in Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Zurich, or any other European business hub.

Global Expertise: Cross-Cultural Negotiations

Negotiation styles vary dramatically across borders. A tactic that works in Germany might be perceived as offensive in Asia or too weak in the US. As experts in cross-cultural negotiations, we train your international teams to adapt their strategies without compromising their goals.
