Why this program matters

  • Failing to master DCF exposes sales teams to significant losses.

  • According to a recent study, 35 % of negotiations fail due to imprecise offer valuation.

  • Companies lose an average of 12 % margin on poorly evaluated deals.

  • On the career front, negotiators without these skills see their promotion opportunities reduced.

  • Acting now lets you avoid these concrete risks and secure your results.

Program

DCF curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Theme: Introduction to DCF for prospecting (Excel, key assumptions, client cases)

Participants discover the fundamentals of DCF applied to sales cycles. They build an initial simple model in Excel, identify critical variables and analyze a real prospecting case. Practical exercises allow testing different growth and margin assumptions.

Module 2 : Theme: Advanced DCF in negotiation (WACC, scenarios, sensitivity)

The day focuses on WACC calculation and the creation of multiple scenarios. Learners perform sensitivity analyses on ongoing deals, use simulation tools and compare several payment structures to strengthen their negotiation position.

Module 3 : Theme: DCF and closing (earn-out integration, reporting)

Focus on using DCF during the closing phase. Participants integrate earn-out mechanisms into their models, produce clear financial reports and simulate discussions with buyers or investors based on solid valuations.

Module 4 : Theme: DCF in corporate context (pitch, post-training follow-up)

Final day dedicated to presenting complete DCF models to a professional audience. Learners finalize their deliverable, receive personalized feedback and define an action plan to apply these skills in their company on a daily basis.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your DCF training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
