    | Course Description |  
    | Utilizing self-learning exercises, role-playing and 
simulations of actual acquisition interviews, this course helps to instill 
confidence in participants and to enhance their communication/negotiation 
skills. Participants are given the opportunity for extensive individual 
participation, and are encouraged to experiment with the practical application 
of communication concepts and skills presented and discussed. Following the 
self-learning exercises and role-playing sessions, participants receive feedback 
regarding what they are doing effectively, as well as the areas in which they 
are in need of improvement.     The acquisition interview is presented in a step-by-step 
approach: how to start, how to develop trust, how to handle problems and 
objections, and how to close.  Using video cameras, participants can then 
practice these steps by taking part in simulations of actual acquisition 
interviews.  These video demonstrations are then replayed, enabling participants 
to see themselves “in action.”    PLEASE NOTE: Each participant is required to 
bring an example of an actual acquisition case that has already been conducted 
or will soon be conducted. This case is needed on the first day of class.
