WHO WE ARE

Meet Mark.

Our founder, Mark, is an award winning negotiation trainer, speaker, podcast host, well-known negotiation expert, and entrepreneur.

Mark was born into a family of entrepreneurs and always felt most at home when selling, negotiating, and managing conflict.

Prior to Negotiations Ninja, Mark worked his way up in the corporate world through sales and procurement roles getting exposed to a number of different industries. But, the lure of entrepreneurship and the need to evangelize good negotiation practices became too great for Mark to ignore and he decided to start a blog and podcast to evangelize great negotiation practices. The Negotiations Ninja blog and podcast was born.

It quickly began attracting readers and listeners from across the globe, and soon people began to reach out to Mark to provide training. The inbound requests became so great, that Mark could no longer ignore these requests and he decided to leave the corporate world to pursue the development of Negotiations Ninja full time.

Negotiations Ninja quickly gained notoriety, grew very quickly and has subsequently delivered training to some of the largest companies in the world  on most major geographies, including; North America, Central America, Europe, Asia, and Africa

WE ARE NEGOTIATION EXPERTS

We are Recognized as Procurement and Negotiation Experts

We’ve been featured in multiple leading publications as experts in procurement and negotiation. One of our biggest goals is to evangelize good negotiation, persuasion, influence, and conflict resolution practices. We do this through our leading podcast, but also through the interviews we take for other publications and podcasts. Our philosophy as that everyone gets better through education. We give our secrets freely to other publications to try help others level up their negotiation skills and knowledge. We truly believe that the more you read and put into practice, the better you will become at negotiation. And we believe that the development of good negotiation skills can change people’s lives. That’s why we do what we do. And that’s why we freely share our information with so many others.


What Makes our Training Unique

OUR TRAINING IS

In-Person
or Virtual

If you have a centralized team, our trainers will travel to your location to deliver our training. Alternatively, if you have a distributed team, our training can be delivered virtually in a Microsoft Teams or Zoom environment. If you are an individual or part of a smaller team, you can join our open-enrollment training format where we invite people from a number of different companies to come to our training locations in major city centres to receive training. This type of training is also available virtually in a Zoom environment.

OUR TRAINING IS

Reality Focused

We do not talk in theoretical platitudes and pontificate about theory. Our training is reality focused. We provide practical, actionable and applicable training that drives straight to the core of what it takes to become a better negotiator. We tend to shy away from academic type discussions and favor the “boots-on-the-ground” strategies and tactics that deliver real results. You can be assured that when taking our training, you’re getting field-tested negotiation, persuasion, influence and conflict resolution strategies that dramatically improve the probability of success.

OUR TRAINING IS

Highly Interactive

If you’re expecting to come to our training and “just listen” to someone lecture about negotiation, persuasion, influence, or conflict resolution for a few hours, our training is probably not the training for you. Our programs are designed to get you involved early and keep you involved through exercises, role-plays, discussion and interactive facilitation. It’s not enough in negotiation to “know” the material. You must practice it in order to improve your skills. Without having interactive training, negotiation, persuasion, influence, and conflict resolution instruction is neutered in its ability to deliver results.
