THE RED SHEET DIFFERENCE

Common Process, Language and ways of working

Red Sheet dramatically increases team capability and negotiation effectiveness by establishing a transparent, sharable process for negotiation planning. This allows peer collaboration across global teams, and leadership governance and assurance to ensure planning rigour.

Game Theory

Red Sheet was the first to incorporate game theory in negotiation. This approach helps negotiators understand the game in play, and how to switch it to a new game that will deliver the desired outcomes.

Negotionality®

Negotionality® is your required personality for the negotiation. This original concept combines the concepts of personality, culture and type of negotiation, allowing you to construct an identity and tailor behaviours specifically to your negotiation.

Body and Spoken Language

Possibly the most critical element within negotiation – learn how to read the verbal and body language signals from your opponent and manage your own so you don’t give anything away.

Negotiate Across Cultures

Determine any cultural differences between us and our opponent and identify any specific adaptations that may need to be made to our negotiation approach to secure the best negotiation outcome, no matter where you are in the world.

Negotiation Power Boost

Understand where the power lies and learn how to project power and shift the balance in your favour.

100 Winning Tactics and Techniques

Benefit from 100 practical ways to gain an advantage in your negotiation by sharpening your own performance and building your repertoire of important tactics and winning techniques.

Negotiables® and Concession Strategy

Negotiation Planning Methodology

Create a detailed plan to stay in control, whatever turn the negotiation takes – including reacting with the right moves should conditions change unexpectedly. Red Sheet brings confidence in negotiation outcomes.

Testimonials

“With the effective Red Sheet approach embedded as “the way we negotiate”, the (customized negotiation capability transformation) program has made a clear and measurably positive impact. The Trust has built a team of highly motivated and expert negotiators demonstrating increased confidence in how it prepares for and conducts difficult negotiations to achieve better outcomes. With a shared sense of responsibility and accountability that has also enhanced cross-functional collaboration, delivered efficiency gains and reduced risk through improved supplier relationships, the team has repeatedly achieved typical cost-saving yields of up to 25% from contract negotiations since it successfully implemented the Red Sheet approach.”

Chief Procurement Officer – NHS Trust

“We have realized a clear and quantifiable uplift in negotiation capability across the global team which has enabled us to realise greater results from our negotiations. The most striking change is how our teams now negotiate. Whereas before the supplier always seemed to have the upper hand, now we have the upper hand – suppliers just don’t know what to do or where we are heading next – it puts us in control of the process and individuals.”
