Business negotiation isn't magic, it's cause and effect.
Absolute Negotiation Power gets business negotiators laser-focused on the simple deal making actions that create big reactions. You'll find our students adding value, practicing their skills in challenging simulations with professional negotiators (not just their co-students) optimizing negotiation systems and producing improved results, not listening to academic theories, experiments conducted on undergraduates, or hostage negotiation 'war' stories.
We help passionate and highly committed entrepreneurs and business people
This specimen represents 98% of business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, investors, asset managers, salespeople and professional buyers that rely on experience and specialized knowledge to close deals. So focused on winning the argument based on the excellence of their solutions and methodologies, they are often frustrated by having to deal with the 'people' aspects of closing deals. They tend to see business as a game that should be won by the best evidence and argument only, not the best marketing approach, people skills or storytelling ability.
Become world class deal makers
This specimen is rare accounting for only 2% of business people. They feed on value, clarity, efficiency and powerful people skills. They understand that if you know more about people than you do about your product, solution or service, you will be unusually successful. You won't find them arguing their point only supported by facts and figures. They know how manage multiple stakeholders and how to present information and arguments in ways that optimize the likelihood of big ticket deals being closed. They are deliberate, scientific, see business and relationships clearly, and always win.
Here's how it works
Imperium gets corporate and other business negotiators laser-focused on the simple actions that create big reactions. Our method is built on the back of four guiding principles:
Proven Process
Extreme Personal Awareness
We turned the guesswork of big deal negotiating with formidable counterparts into a science. Follow practical step- by-step instructions that are proven to work and track your progress using reliable frameworks and check lists.
Get to know your deal making strengths and weaknesses in detail. Learn what motivates you and your counterparts so that you can maintain momentum towards agreement even when the facts don't look like they will fall into place.
Expert Mentorship
Business Specific Application & Constant Improvement
No matter how good the training is, you'll always have questions. Get access to world class professional negotiation experts to get your questions answered. Participate in one on one negotiations with experts & get detailed, personalized debriefings.
Our methodology is specifically and exclusively designed for the business world. We never stop evolving our contents and methods so you will find no outdated approaches that are no longer valid in a technology driven market place.
Battle tested and proven results
We haven't transferred our skills from the world of conflict resolution, academia or hostage negotiation to the business world. No, our experience and expertise come from having been in business negotiations all of our working lives. As much as others would like to impress with their experience negotiating peace treaties or teaching negotiation at universities, we recognize that elite level business negotiation demands a specialized set of strategies, tools, tactics and techniques that are required to succeed in the global market place.
Just like a great golfer will not necessarily be an amazing basket ball player, it is not true that because you're a great hostage negotiator that you will also be a great business negotiator. Even though great golfers and basket player are both exceptional sportspeople and will have many character traits in common, each sport requires a specialized approach for success. Our focus is and has always been restricted to business negotiations. We provide you with real business results: Growth, savings, profit, self-improvement and success.

We teach both strategic & tactical elite level business negotiation
Most negotiation skills training programs are either so academic that you struggle to apply the concepts to your business or they are so tactical that they don't create value or impact long term relationships positively. At Imperium, we teach full stack, strategic and tactical negotiation skills and approaches so that you are able to harness the full spectrum of opportunity offered and stand your ground in the boardroom as well as in the trenches.
Strategic Business Negotiation
Business people closing high value complex deals tend to prefer a strategic approach to negotiation but invariably they come up against counterparts who purposely apply a tactical approach to negotiation (professional procurement departments, sole vendors etc.) leading to frustration, excess discounting, over payment and lost opportunities. We ensure that our students are equipped with the latest mega deal strategic negotiation skills, tools & templates but we also ensure that they are able to stand their ground tactically against the most adversarial and uncompromising counterparts.
Tactical Business Negotiation
Tactical negotiation approaches can not solve strategic issues. Many stakeholders who prefer a tactical approach to negotiation miss out on the significant gains that can be achieved through the establishment of an organizational or departmental negotiation capability that apply negotiation best and leading practices consistently throughout the high ticket deal making life cycle. While we equip all our students with the tactical business negotiation tools and techniques they need to extract the most value from each transaction, we also ensure that typically tactical negotiators are set up to have strategic impact.
