"The best negotiations happen when you negotiate based on yourself and as you are. Not by using a template. This leads to successful negotiations and better relationships in the long run."

Meet your trainer Olof Sjöberg, founder of Ponto Group
I am very happy that you have found your way here and that you are interested in what Ponto Group has to offer. Here we are very committed to building bridges - they just aren't physical.
Before starting Ponto Group, I worked for almost 20 years in various procurement and project management positions in the Norwegian energy sector. These jobs have involved delivering projects in all possible - and impossible - locations around the world.
This has given me a unique opportunity to negotiate and resolve conflicts with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
You are involved in several negotiations a day. We help you with the most important ones.
Have you thought about how many times you negotiate in a day? With your partner, your children, your co-workers, your dog - even with yourself. Some negotiations are less important and a little easier - others are bigger and more difficult.
We are here for you if you need help with work-related national or international negotiations, agreements and purchases or if you want to inspire and develop your employees.
We help you and your company to create better collaborations and agreements by:
Learn to negotiate based on who you are
We sometimes think we need to become someone else in order to succeed in a negotiation. We want to scrap that image - when you learn to negotiate from who you are, you get genuine conversations and successful negotiations. And feel more confident in yourself as a person.
Understanding your counterpart
There are as many ways to negotiate as there are people. If you understand the individual in front of you and find what you have in common, you will find it easier to reach a solution. You will get a toolbox of techniques to use, depending on who you face in your next negotiation.
Managing and preventing conflict
It is best to negotiate in time, before conflicts arise. But we are only human, and sooner or later we end up in a situation where the opposing parties do not agree at all. We see conflict as the start of something good - and give you the tools to manage it so that it becomes just that.
Business negotiations and conflict management are our expertise, but once you learn our techniques, you'll find that the other negotiations in your life go a little better too.
