Why Huthwaite

Helping the biggest global brands deliver long-lasting behavioural change.

Huthwaite is an international training provider and behaviour change specialist. We help organisations to transform their sales and negotiation outcomes by helping to permanently change the behaviour of their teams. We have spent four decades studying the behaviours that are needed for successful business and helping organisations apply that knowledge through our skill development programmes.

Our approach is based on research into what effective sellers and negotiators do. We’ve spent decades learning which key behaviours deliver outstanding performance, identifying what separates successful people from their less effective peers.

By pinpointing and practicing these behaviours and best practice with the help of Huthwaite experts, you can meet the needs of your customers and sustain new levels of business success.

Why invest in Huthwaite training?

Your business will not reach its commercial potential unless it can properly sell, negotiate and communicate. The good news is that these are not skills you are born with, but ones which can be learned. The chances are that you already have the people inside your company who can make you successful – if they learn to do it right.

Sales

Negotiation

Communication

If you value your sales team and want them performing at their best, sales training should form a critical role in your organisation.

By arming your customer facing teams with the skills to anticipate market changes and customer needs, they will be equipped to identify and seize sales opportunities. The better your salespeople are trained, the stronger your business is going to be.

A sales skills development programme from Huthwaite will help your organisation to:

Improve interactions with customers and build better client relationships
Have a more positive impact on customer service
Increase margin through more confidence in sales tactics and strategies
Achieve a common, world-class sales approach and language across different teams
Motivate, engage and empower your customer facing teams
Develop an unseen competitive advantage.

Many of the top negotiators in the world are trained by Huthwaite International. They prefer to stay anonymous. Their skills are a powerful advantage their opponents don’t see coming.

It’s not uncommon for the investment in a Huthwaite negotiation programme to be returned (and more) in the very next deal. The gains and savings our clients around the world have made run into millions. We helped one global energy supplier save £37 million in a single negotiation.

A skills development programme in Negotiation from Huthwaite will help your company to:

Avoid concessions in major sales
Save costs in major purchases
Increase margins
Achieve a common, worldclass negotiation approach and language across different teams
Increase confidence in complex scenarios
Cement equitable relations with strategic partners
Develop an unseen competitive advantage.

For people to do their job effectively, they need hard skills: the technical know-how and subject-specific knowledge to fulfill their responsibilities. But in a forever-changed world of work, lesser-touted communication skills or 'soft skills' may be just as important – if not even more crucial.

How would your organisation benefit if you could build a support system of behaviours that created successful teams and leaders at every level. People who possessed a library of effective communication behaviours that would allow your organisation to:

Deescalate difficult or emotional conversations and ensure people are treated fairly and with care
Develop a culture where everyone has a voice, and all ideas can be considered
Have meetings where the stimulation of both ideas and outcomes are fully understood and can be acted upon
Fully benefit from all training/learning because everyone possesses the skills to make it work
