Running a small business in Western Australia is getting more expensive and more complex.

Wages, rent, fuel, insurance, materials, finance costs and supplier prices are all putting pressure on margins. Customers are often looking for better value, suppliers are passing on higher costs, and many business owners are having harder conversations about pricing, contracts, service levels and payment terms.

In this environment, negotiation is not just a useful skill — it is an essential business skill.

Good negotiation can help you protect your margins, improve supplier arrangements, win better contracts, resolve issues with customers or staff, and create outcomes where both parties can move forward.

This practical online workshop will help you become a more confident and effective negotiator - and is just $20 to attend.

Using six easy-to-follow stages of the negotiation process, you will learn how to prepare properly, communicate clearly, understand the other party’s position, manage pressure, deal with deadlocks and work towards better agreements.

You will leave the workshop with a clear one-page negotiation plan and a practical roadmap you can use in future negotiations.

This workshop covers:

- different communication approaches
- negotiation styles and tactics
- the six stages of the negotiation process
- how to prepare for important business negotiations
- dealing with deadlocks and difficult conversations
- understanding BATNA — your best alternative to a negotiated agreement
- working with teams during negotiation
- practical role play negotiation exercises

This workshop is ideal for WA small business owners who need to negotiate with customers, suppliers, landlords, staff, contractors, partners or funders.

Whether you are reviewing prices, managing rising costs, trying to secure better terms or resolving a business issue, stronger negotiation skills can help you make better decisions and protect the value you have worked hard to build.

WA small business owners are dealing with more uncertainty than ever.

Interest rates, fuel, wages, rent, insurance, supply chain issues and changing customer behaviour are all creating pressure. Global events can quickly affect local prices and availability. AI and technology are also changing how businesses compete, operate and manage information.

The biggest risk is often not one major event.

It is being caught unprepared.

That is why I am running a practical workshop to help small business owners develop a simple risk management plan. Just $20 https://www.smallbusiness.wa.gov.au/workshops/creating-risk-management-plan

In the session, we will look at how to:

✅ Identify the forces that could affect your business
✅ Understand the risks sitting inside your own operations
✅ Work through different business scenarios
✅ Use trigger point budgeting to know when action is needed
✅ Develop practical strategies to reduce risk
✅ Create a one-page risk management plan

The aim is to help you make better decisions, protect your business and stay in control when circumstances change.

This workshop is for WA business owners who want to be prepared, not reactive.

Huge congratulations to Sam Kaye, Managing Director of The Pantry Group, on being named in the 40 Under 40 — and taking out the People's Choice Award on top of that. 🎉

The 40 Under 40 recognition is well deserved. But the People's Choice? That one says something special — it means the people around you see what I get to see working alongside you: someone who leads with genuine integrity, builds real relationships, and makes everyone in the room feel like they matter.

Sam, watching what you've built with The Pantry Group has been an absolute pleasure. This recognition is a reflection of the work you put in every day — and the kind of leader you are.

Well done, mate. Onwards and upwards. 🙌
