Research shows that fewer than 4% negotiations end with a win-win outcome, and a resounding 20% end up with lose-lose results. It is clear that without strong negotiation skills, businesses risk strained relationships and unnecessary losses.
The Maker Group partners with Milwaukee organizations that want to defy probability and move toward profitability, stronger teams, and better long-term agreements. We use modern online learning tools to keep sessions engaging and practical. And even more importantly, every program is tailored to help our clients close stronger deals and meet their objectives according to their needs and specific characteristics.
Our programs are built around your needs and can include:
Gain a clear understanding of the essential phases — from preparation and strategy to real-time negotiation and closing the deal. With the right tools, you’ll be able to navigate each step with confidence and secure stronger outcomes.
Discover how to design adaptable approaches that can be adjusted to fit different contexts. Whether you’re working with clients, colleagues, or vendors, you’ll gain strategies that deliver strong results every time.
The best results happen when both parties walk away satisfied. This negotiation training in Milwaukee shows you how to recognize shared goals, craft balanced solutions, and establish business relationships that stand the test of time.
Successful negotiators know that psychology plays a powerful role at the table. This training helps you recognize emotional signals, manage dynamics, and apply these insights to achieve better outcomes.
Negotiation success depends on how well you communicate. This training sharpens your ability to articulate your message, pick up on what others are really saying, and use influence to move conversations toward positive results.
We use a process-based methodology and unique behavioral strategies to emphasize the significance of the value proposition in each negotiation.
We don’t do cookie-cutter negotiation training, nor should your business.
The Maker Group not only dissects issues your team faces from an organizational standpoint but from a cultural one, too.
To get a clear picture of the issues your business faces, we’ll arrange an exploratory call with your key stakeholders. From there, we’ll work together to develop a winning negotiation strategy.
Creating confident negotiators is our number one goal at The Maker Group.

Negotiation training delivers value across industries, but it’s particularly powerful for organizations that rely heavily on agreements, contracts, and teamwork in their day-to-day operations. For instance:
The impact of training often shows up sooner than expected. Many participants begin applying new techniques right after the first workshop, whether in client negotiations, supplier discussions, or internal meetings.
As the training continues, those skills become second nature, leading to stronger agreements and healthier working relationships. Because each program is designed around the company’s unique needs, results will vary, but most teams report noticeable progress almost immediately.
