Description

Over the last several years, Non-Clinical and/or Economic buyers have been assuming a greater role in the process of capital equipment as well as consumable product purchase decision-making. This evolving financially and organizationally influenced buyer requires advanced level persuasive communication skills in order to enhance positive negotiating relationships and abilities to work together toward common benefit.

Relational Capital is the distinctive value created by between sellers and buyers in a business relationship. It results from the convergence of essential mutual qualities of credibility, integrity and authenticity. As a result of building Relational Capital® in the real world, executive level customers have been found to be more open to collaborate with sellers negotiating positions. In addition to a facilitated workshop, RMI also supports and expedites the execution of the skills, with individual and group coaching following each of the facilitated training workshops.

Our Negotiation series provides participants with a clear and practical pathway aimed at increasing business success with this evolving Non-Clinical customer.

This first segment of the Negotiation series, prepares participants for the preliminary and most important stage of the negotiation process:

  • Establishing commonality with and gaining knowledge of the Non-Clinical buyer’s goals, passions and struggles for which solutions of value can be proposed.
  • Creating valued solutions with Non-Clinical buyers as they are drawn up the Relationship Ladder® from Acquaintance to Respected Advisor.
  • Assessing the actual value and strength of targeted customer business relationships using RQ® Relational Quotient web based assessment tool. Use the RQ® tool to strategize and monitor relationship progress up the Relational Ladder*.
  • Gaining customer confidence that their decision to buy at your higher price are right due to their belief in the distinctive value that your relationship brings to them.
  • Developing relationships with targeted Non-Clinical Buyers to the highest category on the Relational Ladder* where advice is sought on issues and decisions outside of the original business reason that brought the seller and buyer together.

The second segment of the Negotiation Series will provide a worksheet driven (Negotiation Planning Tool) process whereby critical customer information can be captured, practical strategies developed, progress measured and adjustments made in a timely manner that will enhance negotiation success.

The Building Relationships With Non-Clinical And/Or Economic Buyers curriculum provides best practices of how to advance Non-Clinical buyer relationships while leveraging the credibility, integrity and authenticity that enables participant success in the clinical selling environment.

The strategies to advance Non-Clinical Relationships up the Relational Ladder® will be discussed and applied to real world situations.
