FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our negotiation training programs.

How do you customize the training?

Unlike firms that claim customization but only collect a one-page survey from participants, Ante’s training is truly built around your business.
‍
We start with a detailed discovery checklist to understand your key counterparties, competitive positioning, and internal challenges.
‍
After analyzing your responses, we schedule a 90-minute deep dive session (in-person or virtual) to explore your business further.
‍
We identify three critical commercial opportunities to build the training around, ensuring the material drives immediate ROI.
‍
Finally, we include post-training consulting hours to work directly with your team — helping them implement the system and capture real-world outcomes.

How is the training conducted

The training totals eight hours, structured however best fits your business needs:

- One full-day session (8 hours)
- Two half-day sessions (4 hours each)
- Four remote sessions (2 hours each)

We adapt to your operating rhythms and team footprint.
‍
More importantly, every minute is focused on practical application — not abstract theory.

As former operators, we built the training we wished we had when we were in your shoes: no fluff, just usable systems.

How many people can participate

There is no hard cap on participants.
‍
We believe the more individuals exposed to a consistent negotiation system — regardless of their perceived role — the stronger the outcomes across the organization.
‍
Negotiation advantage compounds when everyone is aligned.

How does the contingency-based pricing work?

You select three live commercial opportunities to structure the training around.We align upfront on measurable success metrics.If the system doesn’t move the numbers, we don’t win either.It’s that simple — full alignment from day one.

Why is most negotiation training wrong for business?

Because it’s built for the wrong game.
‍
Traditional negotiation training often borrows from law enforcement models — designed for one-time, no-future interactions.
‍
In business, we negotiate now and repeatedly with the same counterparties over time.
That means we must maximize outcomes today, preserve critical relationships, and strengthen future leverage.
‍
Ante’s system is designed for repeat-player commercial environments — not one-off hostage scenarios.

What deliverables do I receive at the end of training?

Unlike other programs where you walk away with a few slides, Ante’s training equips you with real, usable deliverables you can apply immediately.
‍
Because the training is built around your three live commercial opportunities, you leave with fully developed execution collateral and system tools ready to deploy.
‍
Depending on your selected package, you also receive:
- A customized base market intelligence stack for your team
- A tailored Strength Index calculation to help your team prioritize counterparties going forward

Every deliverable is built to embed negotiation systems directly into your daily commercial operations.

What makes Ante's training different from academic negotiation offerings?

Our team is made up of former Operations Executives who have built, scaled, and sold businesses ourselves.

We understand firsthand the need for negotiation systems that integrate seamlessly into your business model, not theoretical frameworks.
