Negotiations Training for Food Manufacturing Professionals

In the fast-paced world of food manufacturing, negotiations happen every day—whether it’s securing better prices from suppliers, aligning production timelines with customers, or resolving challenges between departments. The outcomes of these conversations can mean the difference between razor-thin margins and strong profitability.

With this in mind, Maryland MEP has partnered with the Shapiro Negotiations Institute to deliver a highly focused Negotiations Training for Food Manufacturing Professionals. This isn’t a generic business workshop—it’s a hands-on, industry-specific program designed to give you and your team the tools to drive better results from every conversation.

Throughout the training, you’ll step into realistic scenarios that reflect the challenges food manufacturers face daily:

• A supplier who’s raising prices mid-contract.
• A buyer demanding tighter delivery windows without increasing costs.
• An internal project team debating budget priorities.

You’ll learn strategies to navigate these situations with confidence—closing deals that protect your bottom line without damaging relationships. The approach is practical, tested, and built on a framework used by some of the world’s leading manufacturers.

What makes this program different is the balance between short-term wins and long-term partnerships. You’ll gain the skills to negotiate in ways that not only secure better terms today but also foster trust and collaboration for the future.

Whether you’re in procurement, sales, operations, quality assurance, or project management, you’ll leave with a proven method for influencing outcomes, overcoming objections, and creating value in every conversation.
