Other negotiation consultants claim to have heavily customized negotiation training — but when it comes down to training your business’s employees, their strategies are generalized. They often don’t work for companies with specific needs.

This is where The Maker Group comes in. Our heavily customized programs are built from the ground up based on your business’s needs. To create the best strategy, we set up introduction calls, exploratory meetings, and interviews with the key stakeholders in every organization we work with.

We look at your challenges from a negotiation perspective and find solutions.

Our negotiation training is designed to fit your team’s schedule. Programs range from half-day intensive workshops to multi-day comprehensive sessions, ensuring each participant gains practical skills and confidence that can be immediately applied in real-world negotiations.
