Frequently asked questions

Is there a more important skill in working life than communication and negotiation?

Sami Sallinen’s coaching sessions are designed for anyone who wants to take these skills to the next level, or who wants a deeper understanding of human behaviour in different situations.

How does Tactical Negotiation® coaching differ from other negotiation coaching?

Tactical negotiation is not just about coaching negotiation skills; it is a holistic approach to managing different interaction situations. Everyone interprets a challenging interaction situation through their own subjective experience. For a salesperson, a challenging encounter may mean that the customer does not buy, for a supervisor it may mean that the subordinate behaves in a problematic way, and for an expert it may mean that his or her professionalism is not trusted. Our coaching focuses not only on interaction and negotiation skills, but also on understanding the patterns that drive human behaviour, non-verbal communication, managing fear and stress mechanisms and influencing.

Who are the coaching sessions suitable for?

The trainings are suitable for anyone who faces challenging interaction situations, wants to learn how to negotiate better or deepen their interaction skills. Whether you are a salesperson, negotiator, manager, customer service representative or expert, our trainings provide concrete tools that can be applied to different everyday interaction situations.

How long are the training courses?

Business coaching is always tailored to the client’s needs and objectives. Our most popular business coaching sessions are half-day (3 h) and full-day (6 h) sessions.

Longer coaching sessions spread over several days are also a good option for many clients, especially if the aim is to develop team negotiation skills or create a fantastic customer experience. The content and focus of the coaching is always tailored to the client’s needs, so the length of the coaching is also easily adaptable.

What are the coaching sessions like?

The shorter half-day training sessions are usually lecture-based workshops. Longer sessions also allow for more practice, taking participants’ skills even further.

The focus and structure of the training is always planned and decided together with the client to ensure that the content meets the needs of the company.

What is a suitable group size?

Group size can vary greatly depending on the nature of the coaching. In lecture-style coaching, the size of the group is not a limiting factor and can vary from a small group to hundreds of participants. In coaching sessions that include practical training, we usually recommend keeping the group size under 30 participants, so that we can offer as much personal guidance and training as possible. The aim of the training is always to ensure the best possible learning experiences for the participants.
