What’s different about Dom?

Dominic Vaughan 

He’s actually negotiated some huge deals – lots of trainers haven’t. What’s more, he still does it, so that experience is current.

His sessions are challenging, fun and keep everyone on their toes.

He’s been doing this for long enough to really know his stuff, but he has unrivalled energy to adapt what he does to maximise relevancy.

Over 25 years of commercial experience. The common thread throughout Dom’s career is in influencing people, handling difficult conversations and negotiating deals.  He started his career with BT which took him to the United States for five years managing new business wins worth more than $410 million. On returning to the UK in 2007 he started to train and consult in the world of commercial negotiation. He is experienced in training and working with the leadership teams, on the buying and selling side in pretty much any sector you can think of including Telecoms, retail, pharmaceutical, financial services, law, technology, manufacturing and transport. He loves working with others and gets immense satisfaction helping them realise their potential.

What people are saying

  • I and one of my senior managers attended the 2-day Advanced Negotiation course hosted by Dominic Vaughan. We found the process fascinating. Dominic led us through a well-paced, well-structured series of exercises, taking us from the basics to more complex, multi-layered negotiations. Each stage was backed up by explanation and discussion, and followed by a thorough appraisal of our outcomes. Dominic’s guidance was excellent throughout. We left with a well-developed methodology and understanding - and a new confidence in tackling our own negotiations which has translated into tangible benefits to our agency. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Dominic to other businesses looking to improve their skills in negotiation.

  • The training was 4 x 4 hours. Really every moment was very interesting. The alternation between practice and theory is great, which keeps you attentive all the time. You get the chance to practice a lot and really learn every time.

  • The role-plays were very concrete, very practical. And in every session there were some new insights.

  • Three key takeaways from the training:

    1. Good preparation before entering a negotiation is important. Think carefully about the steps you want to take in your negotiation.

    2. Everything starts with a good Power Statement. This is how you set the tone of a conversation.

    3. Never be too much away during your negotiation.

  • The training really matches expectations. High level of difficulty and sometimes uncomfortable, but very instructive and directly usable in daily work.

  • Beyond expectations!

Investing in training is a big decision. Budgets and delegate time need to be considered fully before commitment. Let’s have a chat to assess the issues your business faces and the best way forward.
