English for the negotiations you actually have
The goal isn't to memorise stock phrases. It's to help you communicate your position clearly, respond naturally and move a professional discussion towards a useful outcome.
Make proposals
Present ideas, terms and alternatives clearly so the other person understands exactly what you are proposing.
Explain your priorities
Communicate what matters most to you and explain the reasons behind your position naturally.
Ask for concessions
Request changes or better terms without sounding too demanding, vague or apologetic.
Handle objections
Respond to concerns, challenge ideas and keep the conversation constructive when you disagree.
Disagree diplomatically
Use professional language to push back, qualify your position and protect working relationships.
Reach agreement
Clarify terms, confirm decisions and close discussions with language that leaves everyone clear about the outcome.
Practise the negotiations you actually need to handle
Negotiating in another language is difficult when you know what you want to say but cannot find the right words quickly enough. Lessons can be built around your role, industry and the situations you regularly face.
Bring a suitable non-confidential situation or explain what you need to negotiate. We can prepare the language, practise realistic exchanges and work on how to respond when the conversation changes direction.
You receive direct feedback on clarity, grammar, vocabulary, tone and natural alternatives, so you can take useful language straight into your next professional conversation.
Prepare for the conversations that matter to you
Price and budgets
Discuss pricing, budgets and value while keeping your language clear and professional.
Deadlines and delivery
Negotiate deadlines, timelines and expectations without creating unnecessary friction.
Contracts and terms
Discuss conditions, responsibilities and changes to agreements with greater precision.
Client and supplier discussions
Prepare for negotiations with clients, customers, suppliers and business partners.
Internal negotiations
Practise negotiating priorities, resources, responsibilities and decisions with colleagues or managers.
Difficult conversations
Stay calm and constructive when positions are far apart or the discussion becomes challenging.
