Regardless of your title, Fitness Director, Manager, Senior Director, or Supervisor, we must all learn to negotiate. We have to negotiate with instructors about their classes, negotiate with vendors for lower prices, negotiate with upper management for more support, and negotiate with members about our offerings. Negotiation is an art of give and take. I am so excited for industry leader and queen negotiator herself, Doris Thews, to join me live to share her insight and tactics for negotiating as a fitness leader.
Here are the quick-fire questions I plan to ask:
1) What recommendations do you have for preparing for a negotiation?
2) During the negotiation, what do you recommend managers ensure they do to get the most out of the meeting?
3) After the initial meeting, I know you are all about giving yourself time to reflect and prepare a final agreement; what are some ways to give yourself time and steps to create a final summary/agreement?
