I've used Benedict's methodology at many fortune 500 companies, including GE, Motorola, and Newell Rubbermaid, with purchasing, engineering and operations functions alike. This approach is the one tool in my sourcing toolkit that always gets measurable, bottom line results!

Benedict has it just right. The approach is extremely practical, allowing us to meaningfully change our behavior as buyers. That's why the teachings stick, driving lasting and repeatable impact to the bottom line of any organization.

Some 20 years ago, as a young buyer, I attended one of Benedict's classes and learned about the BNS approach to successful negotiating. I can tell you, it works! This simple, straightforward methodology can yield significant benefits to your organization in planning and preparation, defining success, increasing productivity, building morale and strengthening both organization capability and harmony. This is the benchmark for negotiation preparation. I have put [the BNS] methods into practice in various ways all over the world. It has been an important part of my success, and can be for you as well.

I am aware of negotiating better and can identify real dollar savings. I earned 17K last week on a small system purchase.

Applying just a few of the principals learned in the workshop resulted in a $20,000 annual savings on a relatively simple contract.

I personally recouped the fee within the first few days after attending the seminar negotiating relatively small orders.

Kay Witherill – Senior Buyer

 

Benedict's systematic, preparation process for negotiating works in the service industry as well as manufacturing – and for personal negotiations as well as contractual. In my 33 year career, I have never taken another course that made this much immediate improvement in my business skills.
