Fascinated by the idea of negotiating, their founder and CEO, Chad Mulligan began what was to be a lifelong calling when he joined BayGroup International (BGI) as a sales consultant responsible for the Chicagoland territory. Having an eye for taking the “road less traveled”, Chad quickly realized that there was an untapped opportunity to support many of BayGroups’ existing clients who had large procurement teams that needed negotiation training. Starting with just a handful of clients, Chad quickly grew BGI’s portfolio of procurement clients into a significant source of revenue for the firm. That portfolio of clients continued to expand right up until 2013 when BayGroup International was sold.
Shortly after, Chad seized another opportunity and successfully negotiated a deal with the company that acquired BGI, launching RED BEAR Negotiation Company as the exclusive distributor for all procurement focused training programs. Over the next several years, RED BEAR continued to experience significant growth and in 2017, gained full ownership of the content that now forms the core of RED BEAR’s negotiation and collaboration training offerings.
At S.A.B. they offer customized programs in Procurement Negotiations, Sales Negotiations and Contract Negotiations. Their workshops help our clients create value at EVERY step in the negotiation process by combining both the art AND science of negotiations.

Owners and Management
As the decision makers, you are often called upon to be either the primary negotiator or, at the very least, the person behind the scenes evaluating proposals, determining counter-offers, and deciding when to say, “You’ve got a deal.” The buck stops with you, the owners, the senior and mid-management. With that being said, sharpening your negotiating skills is a lifelong commitment.

The most successful negotiation seminar in the United States was created and designed by Dr. Chester Karrass. No other negotiator in the country has a comparable background. Dr. Karrass has combined extensive experience, advanced academic credentials in negotiation techniques, and over 45 years’ experience in seminar delivery into a negotiating arsenal no other negotiator in the country can match.
After earning an Engineering degree from the University of Colorado and a Masters in Business from Columbia University, Dr. Karrass became a negotiator for the Hughes organization. There he won the first Howard Hughes Doctoral Fellowship Award in business, and spent three years conducting advanced research and experimentations in negotiation techniques before earning his Doctorate from the University of Southern California. He then returned to Hughes as a negotiation consultant.
In 1968, Dr. Karrass used his research and experience to create his pioneering Effective Negotiating® seminar, which was designed to help other business professionals master the strategies, tactics, and psychological insights of negotiating.
Dr. Karrass began holding his pioneering seminars at a time when most business executives and professionals did not realize how negotiation was an important part of their business and personal lives. More than 1,000,000 professionals, including salespeople, buyers, corporate leaders, managers, engineers, financial officers, CEOs, and international businesspeople around the world have attended Dr. Karrass’s Effective Negotiating® seminar. Many of the participants have attended the Effective Negotiating® seminar In-House at their companies, and most of the Fortune 500 corporations currently license the KARRASS program. Dr. Karrass is the author of four books on negotiation, including The Negotiating Game, Give and Take, In Business as in Life – You Don’t Get What You Deserve You Get What You Negotiate, and Effective Concensus – Gain Acceptance for Your Ideas, Connect with Others and Resolve Differences Creatively. They are all best sellers in their field.
Our Conclusion
Karrass offers unmatched experience in successfully training business people in negotiating skills. Negotiation is their single area of expertise. Unlike other training companies and organizations, they are wholly focused on negotiation training rather than a variety of topics.
