KEY TAKEAWAYS

[00:01:07] Starting early in the sales process is crucial for
successful negotiation.

[00:02:09] Begin the negotiation process before the other side
believes you're negotiating.

[00:02:58] Having a better alternative gives leverage in
negotiations.

[00:04:00] Making negotiations about the client's alternative
rather than yours is a powerful tactic.

[00:05:51] Procurement's role and the importance of preparing
champions for the negotiation process.

[00:08:23] The significance of creating a powerful cost
justification to resist procurement pressure.

[00:10:46] The role of champions as the great equalizer in the
negotiation process.

[00:12:17] Anticipating competitive tactics and preparing
champions to handle external pressure.

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

[00:01:26] "Start the negotiation process before the other side
believes we're negotiating."

[00:03:18] "If the rep doesn't have a solid alternative, it gives
the power back to procurement."

[00:08:48] "You have to have done such a good cost justification
that they feel like they're losing every day that goes by."

[00:10:27] "Champions are the great equalizer in a negotiation
process."

[00:13:52] "We have to prep them because it is going to happen,
and we have to role play and ask specifically, what are you going
to say when they ask this question."
