The Negotiation Skills Company, Inc. (TNSC) is a U.S.-based negotiation skills training and consulting firm. Its core services include corporate negotiation training workshops, negotiation strategy consulting, executive coaching, crisis and conflict response consulting, and training materials. Its philosophy emphasizes that negotiation is not a competitive sport, but a collaborative, interest-based process for reaching sustainable agreements.
The official website lists several programs: Building Bridges is a 1-day course, Fighting Fires Without Burning Bridges is a 2-day course, Booster Shot is a 1-day refresher, and Agreeing to Agree is a 3-day program. The courses are mainly customized in-house training for companies and organizations. Clients choose the location, which may be a company site, conference center, or hotel. The text does not specify live online or recorded courses, but it does mention that Steve Cohen can provide private executive coaching. The classroom format emphasizes interaction, typically moving into exercises within the first 10 minutes, and includes role plays, drills, and discussion.
TNSC’s instructor profile is one of its clearer selling points: every trainer has at least 20 years of real-world deal negotiation experience, across fields such as banking, lobbying, real estate, labor relations, sales, publishing, and kidnapping negotiation. The company also says it has senior trainers on three continents and can deliver programs in multiple locations; as of 2004, courses could be delivered by native speakers in English and Spanish. As for certification, the website explicitly states that there is no nationally recognized negotiator certification, and it does not disclose any course completion certificate arrangements.
Pricing is not publicly listed, which is typical for customized corporate training. Its service support appears relatively strong: before the course, content is customized through client discussions and participant questionnaires; after the course, evaluations are conducted at 2 months and 1 year, learning reminders are sent to participants every 10 days, and ongoing support is provided by phone, fax, and email. For clients who want a follow-up review, the company also offers the 1-day Booster Shot refresher.
The main advantages are its strong practical background, highly customizable courses, suitability for real organizational negotiation scenarios, and a more complete post-training follow-up system than typical short workshops. The drawbacks are the lack of a fixed public course schedule, limited opportunities for individual enrollment, missing information on pricing, payment methods, and online learning options, and the fact that the website information appears dated, so its current operating status should be verified. It is better suited to corporate management teams, procurement and sales teams, supplier relationship managers, budget decision-makers, and organizations that need to improve cross-functional negotiation capability.
Access from China cannot be determined from the text, and payment methods are not disclosed. Chinese companies considering procurement should first confirm by email or phone whether remote communication is available, whether the company can deliver training in China or a third location, and what currency and contract arrangements are supported. Alternatives to consider include Harvard Program on Negotiation, Scotwork, Karrass Negotiating, negotiation courses on Coursera/edX, and programs from domestic business schools.
