Prior to the programme*, you will be invited to complete Scotwork’s Negotiation Skills Capability Survey (NSCS), which will give you a comprehensive, factual and concise answer to your questions:

  • How effectively do I or my team negotiate?
  • Are there common issues to fix?
  • Where are the gaps in competency or training?
  • What are the priorities for skills development?
  • How do we benchmark by function, division or sector?
  • How do our internal divisions / functions / regions compare?


We joined the Scotwork Advancing Negotiation Course with a group of 24 senior sales managers from SodaStream. The course was very professional, the methodologies and materials were of high quality, and the trainers were very experienced, professional and engaging (...) Overall, everyone was very satisfied and felt they got great value out of it. I’m sure this course will contribute to the business success of the company.

Why Scotwork?

Leading negotiation skills development and consultancy since 1975

Since 1975, we have been leading the way in creating greater engagement and application by mixing global reach with rich local knowledge, with offices in 46 countries, as well as training delivery and consultancy in 29 languages.

We ran workshops in the UK and USA (…) Really enlightening insight from the team that ran the sessions, and massively impressed with the outputs. One of the metrics we are keen to measure aside from ROI is the relationship and how it had been impacted by our commercial discussions. Have to say we were very happy with both.
