Where Negotiation Skills Training Often Fails

If you think your team needs "Negotiation Skills" Training, you could be making the biggest mistake EVER! First, people don't define what they mean by "Negotiation Skills" when it comes to sales training. Here is how to better define it, and be careful of buzz words.
