#2 Global Gurus Negotiation 2026
How It Works

Deliberate practice, not passive learning

Courses teach theory. NegotiationSim builds skill through practice under pressure — with real tactics, real decisions, and real feedback.

01

Choose your scenario

Select from industry-specific simulations — logistics, government procurement, M&A. Each mirrors a real deal with genuine financial stakes and hidden NegoEconomics built in.

02

Face the AI counterpart

Your counterpart uses authentic negotiation tactics — False Commitment, Creating Urgency, Lack of Mandate. Each tactic is labelled in real time so you learn to recognise and counter them.

03

Get SMARTnership hints

At any moment you can request a coach hint powered by the SMARTnership methodology. It shows you what move to make and why, grounded in NegoEconomics principles.

04

Review your debrief

After every session, your debrief reveals exactly how much hidden value you captured — and what you left on the table. Tactics used against you are listed with counter-strategies.

The Simulation Room

Your Negotiation Arena

A live interface where you negotiate turn-by-turn against an AI counterpart. Every response is driven by the SMARTnership tactic library — authentic, unpredictable, and instructive.

The big NegoEconomics here: Thales can deliver July 1 (saves you 4 weeks × €700K = €2.8M) at a cost to them of only €400K. That's €2.4M of NegoEconomics in delivery alone.

Thank you for making time today. Our offer of €54,264,500 reflects the full complexity of this programme — interface development, five-year maintenance, and a delivery schedule that is genuinely challenging given your late enquiry. What would you like to discuss first?
You
The delivery date is our primary concern. We need the eGates operational by July 1st. What would it take to commit to that date?
TG
I understand the urgency. July 1st is theoretically possible — but I'd need to take this back to our operations director before I can commit. What I can tell you is that accelerating the timeline would require additional resource allocation, which would need to be reflected in the commercial terms.
⚠ Lack of Mandate
SMARTnership Hint Thales is using Lack of Mandate to avoid committing on delivery while probing your price flexibility. Don't concede on price before locking delivery. Ask: "If I can give you certainty on payment terms, can you give me certainty on July 1st — today?"

NegoEconomics Value Map

€1.3M
Captured of €2.4M+ available

You captured the early delivery value and payment terms asymmetry. You missed the availability SLA trade (99.99% costs Thales €1.6M but is worth €2.6M/year to UKBA) and left the servicing variable unexplored.

Tactics used against you
Lack of Mandate

Used to deflect on both price and delivery. Counter: establish mandate authority in Rules of the Game before substantive negotiation begins.

Creating Urgency

Tied early delivery capability to same-day signature. Counter: urgency is a tool — never concede under artificial deadlines.

Going in the Opposite Direction

Threatened to seek another buyer when pressed on SLA. Counter: map your alternatives carefully before conceding under pressure.

The Foundation

Every Simulation Is Built on This

The four pillars of SMARTnership run through every scenario, every debrief, and every AI counterpart response.

Pillar 1

SMARTnership

The Third Road beyond combat and concession. A partnership built on mutual trust, transparency, and open two-way communication — where both parties pursue a bigger pie, not a larger slice. Partnership version 2.0: with rules, variables, NegoEconomics, and TrustCurrency built in.

Pillar 2

NegoEconomics

The asymmetric value hidden in every deal. Research shows 42% of negotiation room is never exploited because parties haven't learned to identify it. NegoEconomics distributes tasks to the party who can perform them at lowest cost — creating value neither party could achieve alone.

Pillar 3

TrustCurrency

Trust is the toll on the Third Road. TrustCurrency quantifies the trust dynamic in a negotiation — built through honesty, consistency, and demonstrated fairness. The higher your TrustCurrency, the more NegoEconomics becomes accessible. Without it, the pie stays small.

Pillar 4

Rules of the Game

The negotiation before the negotiation. Before any substantive bargaining, both parties must agree: how will we negotiate? Who opens? What is the code of conduct? Failure to set these rules is like arriving for chess when your counterpart has set up a tennis court.

Common Questions

After payment through Stripe, you are taken directly to the NegotiationSim platform and can begin your first simulation immediately. No waiting, no account setup delays.
No. The Beginner scenario (Freight & Logistics) is designed to teach the SMARTnership framework from scratch. Experienced negotiators typically start with the Advanced or Expert simulations and find both humbling and revealing.
NegoEconomics is Dr. Jensen's framework for identifying asymmetric value in negotiations — situations where one party gives up something cheap to gain something of much higher value to them. Research shows 42% of the value in most negotiations is never captured. The debrief shows you exactly where that value was.
Yes. The Team plan covers up to 10 users and includes a comparative analytics dashboard. Enterprise clients can have bespoke scenarios built for their specific industry and optionally integrate live workshops with Dr. Jensen.
Courses teach theory. NegotiationSim is deliberate practice. You face real tactics, make decisions under pressure, and get scored on exactly what you did and what you missed. Skill development requires practice with feedback — not passive consumption of content.
Yes. Individual and Team plans can be cancelled at any time through Stripe. There are no lock-ins or cancellation fees.
