Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY) today announced that it has
launched the Negotiator-Pro platform to build its corporate-wide
negotiations capabilities in all facets of its operations—from planning
and executing mergers and acquisitions to improving the negotiations
skills of product, sales and engineering teams. The state-of-the-art
platform operates within the cloud and includes a complete project
management system with team building and training, preparation,
execution, collaboration and debriefing functionality. The platform’s
intuitive design enables corporate planners and project managers to
analyze and manage multiple negotiations in real-time, with tools that
define and assign project roles and responsibilities. It also offers
organization documentation to preserve transactional history and assist
with regulatory compliance.
Negotiator-Pro is the creation of Jim Camp and his team at the Camp
Negotiation Institute. Camp and his team have consulted with Cypress,
multi-national corporations and even the FBI Hostage Crisis Negotiation
Training Unit to optimize negotiation outcomes. His negotiation outcomes
have yielded success valued in the $100 millions.
“Salespeople, and other corporate negotiators, are typically trained to
seek out so-called win-win outcomes—which in reality never provide
maximum return or successful long-term agreements,” said Cypress
President and CEO T.J. Rodgers. “The Negotiator-Pro platform realigns
our thinking and transitions the approach of our teams from defense to a
strong offense, producing agreements that grow business relationships.
It provides a clear methodology to calculate the value of products and
business transactions and provides solid and consistent negotiation
coaching.”
“We are pleased to expand our collaboration with Cypress with the
Negotiator-Pro platform,” Jim Camp said. “With customized training and
industry leading content—and its compatibility with both fast-growing
mobile platforms such as iPhones and iPads and broadly accepted
CRMs—Negotiator-Pro is the first platform of its kind to achieve
training, project management, team collaboration and coaching
automation, that is, the ability to improve negotiating skills on
the fly without the time and travel investment frequently required by
one-to-one coaching meetings and training seminars.”
