Here’s How It Works

 
All that hard work at the workshop? It’s not going anywhere. Not with this three-step method. 

Reinforced Learning

Each week, participants receive a short, focused email lesson that recaps one key concept. It’s fast, memorable, and built for the flow of a busy procurement team.


What it covers:

From managing tension to setting high aspirations and satisfying supplier needs over wants, your team revisits what matters—right when it matters most.

Dynamic Coaching

Managers get weekly smart coaching questions tied to each concept—perfect for 1:1s or team meetings. They don’t just observe performance… they shape it.

What it enables:

  • Better prep conversations before supplier calls
  • Consistent team language around power, information, and planning
  • Coaching confidence for leaders

Commitment to Application

Each week, participants document how they’re applying RED BEAR principles. These micro-reflections keep the momentum going—and provide a performance snapshot for leaders.

What it drives:

  • active implementation across supplier negotiations
  • Mindset shift from theory to practice
  • Early identification of behavioral gaps and wins

You Didn’t Invest in Training To Tick A Box

 
You invested to change how your team negotiates—and to prove it.
 
 

Here's the problem:

80% of people forget training content within a month without review.

Without reinforcement, even the best negotiation methodology fades fast.

RED BEAR’s reinforcement program keeps the learning alive and evolving—so your team continues to sharpen their procurement negotiation skills and apply them in every supplier interaction.

With us, you’ll:
 

Increase Motivation

Procurement pros are wired to improve. This gives them the tools and targets to keep growing—without burnout or complexity.

Empower Leaders

Managers don’t have to be expert trainers. With smart coaching questions and ready-to-go prompts, they can lead with confidence.

Make Learning Stick

Forget the workshop fade. With ongoing application and review, new behaviors become second nature.

Prove ROI

When your team can plan, apply, and repeat RED BEAR’s methodology, the business impact becomes easy to measure—and impossible to ignore.

What Happens When You Prioritize Reinforcement?

Greater…

Retention. Application. ROI.
