IN A GLOBAL MARKET, NEGOTIATION MISSTEPS CAN COST YOU BIG

For international teams, negotiation isn’t just about getting to “yes”—it’s about navigating cultural nuance, power dynamics, and local expectations.
 
Without training, teams fall into dangerous Bear Traps like:

international-group-of-people-on-city-street-PMDS3XS-landscape

Using a one-size-fits-all approach

Leads to misunderstandings, misalignment, and stalled deals.

Failing to adapt to local norms

Can unintentionally cause offense or signal weakness.

Losing internal alignment across regions

Results in fractured strategies and contradictory messaging to partners.

Avoiding tension in hierarchical cultures

Limits innovation, collaboration, and meaningful outcomes.

Relying too much on translation instead of preparation

Misses nuance and puts high-stakes deals at risk.

Leaning on cultural stereotypes

Damages trust and derails negotiation progress.

And the global impact?

 

 Missed opportunities in new markets

 Poor cross-functional collaboration

 Supplier or customer relationships that don’t scale

 Internal culture clashes and lost trust

RED BEAR’s Cross-Cultural Negotiation™ training equips your team with the local insight, global structure, and people skills to win.
