What We Do: Offer Negotiating Solutions to San Jose Businesses

Research indicates that negotiation is one of the top 15 skills most crucial to an employee’s success. How exactly does it positively impact your business?

Other negotiation consultants say they offer customized negotiation training — but when it comes down to training your business’s employees, their strategies are one size fits all. They often fail to address the specific challenges your business faces.

At The Maker Group, we take on a different approach. Our programs are truly built from the ground up, tailoring your organization’s unique goals and negotiation needs. We begin with an in-depth strategy call, followed by exploratory meetings and interviews with key stakeholders, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your business.

From there, we analyze your challenges through a negotiation lens and design targeted solutions that genuinely work for your team.

Our training is designed for a diverse range of professionals across various levels and roles within an organization. We offer three distinct levels that support new hires through high-level executives. Each level will receive custom negotiation training tailored to their specific work needs and contribute to the organization’s overall success. 

Our programs are designed for:

  • Consumer packaged goods
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Lawyers
  • Sales professionals
  • Oil and gas 
  • Healthcare
  • Construction and engineering
  • Agricultural industry
  • Manufacturing industry
  • Logistics industry
  • Chemical industry 
  • Media and Entertainment industry

Our program is divided into three phases:

  1. Pre-workshop: We will perform research on your company’s needs to ensure we create the most customized experience possible.
  2. Workshop: Dive into our highly customized program with hands-on learning and 360° feedback.
  3. Post-workshop: We provide course highlights and access to all of our learning tools for continued review and learning for your organization.

Our tried-and-tested behavioral strategies, combined with decades of proven commercial negotiation expertise, will equip your team with the practical skills needed to drive real results.
