Procurement and vendor negotiation training for buyers and category managers
Procurement staff are trained in process and thrown into negotiation. Teachrity lets buyers and category managers practise supplier negotiations against AI vendors who hold hidden constraints, so they learn to find real interests, challenge a cost breakdown and decide when to walk away.
Finding interests
The AI vendor reveals their real priority only when the buyer asks well. Practice trains questions that surface it.
Challenging the cost
Buyers ask for a cost breakdown and test assumptions without souring the relationship.
Terms and walk-away
Payment terms, volume commitments, service levels and a clear walk-away position are practised together.
Dual perspective
Evaluation can score both the buyer's result and the relationship left behind.
Walk-away discipline
Buyers practise stating their alternative and being willing to use it, which changes how the vendor negotiates.
