When you have a cost price increase to agree, we know that the first thing a
buyer will do is deny, deny, deny, then deflect, deflect, deflect then look at
reducing it to a level so insignificant that it can’t be justified.
This workshop demonstrates how to have the conversation with your buyer and make
it stick. Delivered by experienced ex retailers – who have worked
on
both sides of the table. These workshops are helping suppliers agree cost
price changes, as we follow tried and tested processes, that give the very best
chances of success. Preparing well to make sure you know all you need to
know. Planning to make sure you execute. Practising using role
plays
to put you through your paces.
The usual one-day workshop is split into three, two hour Zoom sessions across 3
days, with an additional breakout after the final session. This, along
with polled questions, regular and adhoc Q&A and some light homework in
between, ensures that it delivers real impact and action.
It focuses on Retail buying but is highly appropriate for any buyer seller
cost change requirement.
