Negotiation training for procurement teams

Most AI confirms what you already think. Ours challenges it.

Practise a real negotiation against an AI counterpart that does not concede — then get scored on how you handled it.

Ask a general-purpose model to play a supplier and it folds, because being agreeable is what it is for. Ours holds a defined position, an undisclosed walk-away number and the authority to end the meeting. Bring your own live deal; the debrief marks the decisions you actually made, not the ones you meant to.

The Dojo is in training — Pro Tier, coming soon. Join the waitlist on the Dojo page and we'll tell you the moment it's back.

Built, and in training

Built around what you already run.

Nothing to procure, nothing to implement, no platform to migrate onto. Bring your own categories, figures and live commercial situations — once the Dojo reopens.

The Negotiation Dojo

A supplier account director defending a renewal or a price increase, holding an undisclosed limit and the authority to end the discussion. Every assumption you bring is tested; every concession you make is recorded.

  • Your category, your figures
  • Assessed 0–100 across five dimensions
  • Structured debrief issued after every session

Force Sim 02 · Pro Tier, coming soon

The Stakeholder Gauntlet

Your sourcing recommendation is ready. It now has to survive a CFO who has seen guaranteed savings fail to materialise before, and who will not accept a business case on the strength of its presentation.

  • Your own business case, examined
  • Quantification challenged, risk interrogated
  • The same assessment and debrief

How it works

Ten minutes, start to debrief.

No setup, no install, nothing to configure. Bring a deal you are actually working on.

Step 01

Set the scene

Category, deal value, what you want out of it, the pressure you are under. Your real numbers — the counterpart adapts to them rather than reading from a script.

Step 02

Negotiate

A supplier-side counterpart with its own interests, a hidden floor and the authority to walk. It concedes when you earn it and hardens when you circle. Type /coach if you get stuck — it costs you points.

Step 03

Get scored

A Force Score out of 100 across five dimensions, the moments that decided it, and your weakest area to work on next. Emailed, so the reps compound.

The Dojo is Pro Tier — coming soon

Two ways in

Built for teams. Open to practitioners.

Deployed across a whole function, or taken up by an individual practitioner against a live commercial situation.

FOR TEAMS & ENTERPRISES

Simulations deployed across your whole function

Scenarios built around the categories you actually buy, assessed against the same rubric for everyone. The output is evidence of where commercial capability genuinely sits — not a record of who attended the training.

FOR PRACTITIONERS

A single seat, against a live commercial situation

Bring a renewal you have to hold or a business case you have to defend. A counterpart that does not concede, followed by an assessment of how you handled it — not how you felt it went.

The methodology

You do not need software to make your savings credible.

Procurement works miracles, and most of them are only ever fully understood by the people who performed them. The rebate that never becomes a line item. The risk that never turns into a cost. The three-year deal that quietly funds next year's headcount. The value is real, it is already there, and it is invisible to everyone outside the function.

That is not something a platform fixes, because it was never a tooling problem. It is a credibility problem. Value arrives in a language Finance has no way to accept, so it gets argued about in December instead of agreed in March — and a number your CFO will not sign is worth less than a smaller one they will.

This methodology quantifies all of it, not just the part that lands in the P&L, and settles the terms with Finance before the work starts rather than after it. Clear guidance, agreed in advance, running on the systems you already have. No licences, no migration, nothing new to buy.

“I want to agree with you now, in writing, what counts as a saving — so nothing I report in November is a surprise to you in January.”

The opening line of the Finance alignment session. No finance partner refuses that conversation.

Your next renewal is already in the diary.

Run it here first — once the Dojo is back. Ten minutes against a counterpart that will not concede, your own numbers, and a scored debrief at the end of it — before the meeting that actually costs you something.
