Daniel Freeman - Senior International Consultant

Daniel’s negotiation experience was shaped by working in the optics industry over the past 8 years, across various account facing and managerial roles.

Prior to joining Scotwork, Daniel graduated History and Politics from the University of Liverpool and went on to complete a Master’s in Educational Multimedia at Queens University Belfast.

Daniel held key managerial positions at Hoya Vision Care, tasked with negotiating new contracts, business expansion and acquisition, and creating new areas of distribution across Ireland. As well as frequent negotiations with independent businesses and suppliers, Daniel was also a part of high-level internal negotiations with global HQ, finance and production.

Our course launches tens of thousands of people into negotiation training every year. It prepares you to become a successful negotiator; equipping you with a proven methodology and changing your behaviour in negotiation situations.

Scotwork's 8-step process helps you to navigate the twists and turns of dealmaking. The highly interactive sessions include a challenging mix of practical exercises, online tools, video analysis and bite-sized lectures.

“There isn't a day that goes by without using the things I learned in the course. A few things I already did before, but now I can tie it to a structure. It is truly the best training I ever followed. Thank you very much, it has really changed my life. It lifted my knowledge and skills and I am thankful to be able to join this training. I saved £100k+ within 90 days of attending the course!”
