Red Sheet training from Positive Purchaing Ltd Our Red Sheet™ training is available in a variety of formats structured around either the Full Red Sheet™ or the Red Sheet™ Lite. Unlike other negotiation training courses, ours is specifically designed for the Purchasing community and links purchasing tools such as Kraljic/Portfolio to the negotiation.

Team based video role play negotiationsThe 3 day advanced course 'full Red Sheet™'  and the 2 day intermediate Red Sheet™ Lite course feature team based video role play sessions. We can also offer these courses with the option of one-on-one video role plays.

The training takes delegates through the process of planning the negotiation and working with a team to run the event itself. Delegates learn about the balance of power in a negotiation, linking negotiation with business requirements and tactics, techniques and behaviours for the event itself. The full Red Sheet™ courses include modules on managing across cultures and linking personality and behaviour to the event.

The Red Sheet™ training events are uplifting and inspirational and equip delegates with the skills and confidence to deliver outstanding negotiations. Choose from a range of standard course options or we can customise a course uniquely for your organisation:
