Negotiation is an important part of a purchasing manager. As part of the overall purchasing process, a well trained purchasing manager will make a significant contribution to the company’s bottom line profit. This is especially true when the new purchasing manager need to face the seasoned sales people, who have been well equipped to deals with customers of all kinds.
		This negotiation course is tailored for purchasing managers in which they have to deal with many strategic buying decisions. It is only after the purchasing managers understand the strategic decision making process, vendor evaluation and market environment; they won’t be able to make good sense of the negotiation.
