About course
Influencing skills are the techniques used to persuade, negotiate, and win support for ideas without relying on authority or job title. Without these skills, good ideas get overlooked, meetings stall, and decisions drag on. Our CPD-accredited influencing skills training helps learners communicate persuasively, build rapport, and win support ethically.
The influencing skills course is designed for managers, team leaders, sales professionals, and anyone who needs to win support from colleagues or clients without relying on authority. It is also suitable for HR professionals, consultants, project managers, and individuals looking to strengthen persuasion and negotiation skills for career growth.
Throughout this influencing and negotiation skills training, learners examine personality types, emotional intelligence, and the psychology behind persuasion and decision-making. They develop the ability to read situations, adapt their communication style, and build genuine rapport. These skills support stronger relationships, smoother negotiations, and more confident, ethical influence at every level.
Moreover, this negotiation and influencing skills training covers key modules from personality types and communication styles to the core principles of persuasion and negotiation techniques. Learners explore rapport-building, objection handling, and ethical persuasion strategies. Each module helps learners connect theory with everyday workplace scenarios, difficult conversations, and stakeholder management.
If you’re looking for reliable influencing skills training courses for yourself or your organisation that offer flexible study, structured learning, and recognised certification, this programme is an excellent choice. Designed by industry experts and aligned with UK standards, it lets learners study at their own pace and access materials from any device.
Upon completion, learners receive a free digital certificate, recognising their achievement and supporting continuing professional development. Get started today on our influencing skills training course and give your team the confidence and skills needed to negotiate effectively, communicate persuasively, and lead with lasting impact.
