Negotiation is the most important – and probably the most challenging – skill a claims adjuster will ever learn. Since claims adjusters negotiate daily – with claimants, attorneys, agents, replacement houses, mechanics, etc.– it is imperative that they know how to recognize, use, and defend against a wide variety of strategies and tactics. This course covers over 25 strategies and tactics with principles for employing and countering each. Adjusters frequently interact with intimidating plaintiff attorneys, most of whom have special training in negotiation. When adjusters are armed with the skills presented here, they will better accomplish their most important task – negotiating more equitable settlements.

Learners are introduced to the process of properly opening a negotiation, establishing rapport, maintaining control, making opening offers, bargaining, handling objections, closing, and finalizing the settlement. This course also covers the all-important perception of power in the negotiation process – who has it and why. The skills in this course will empower adjusters the confidence and know-how to settle cases more quickly, productively, and economically.
