Essential Negotiation Skills Training Feedback
"The training was excellent. The skills and tools can be used to increase productivity from our day to day work."
"Good pace, and balance between lecture and activity to solidify lessons. A good reminder of our last training. I have employed the techniques recently; especially BATNA and trading. Good engagement with the students. The case study was fun and interactive. Overall it was time well spent and certainly helped the team focus on improving our negotiating skills."
"SWOT/trading plan/teamwork with colleagues from our Business Unit."
"Excellent presenter, easy format, good humor."
"What I liked about the course is how comprehensive it was, how amazing it was in drilling down in the decision lifecycle. I learned a tremendous amount about how people make decisions, how they think about and prepare to go into negotiations. The sim is fantastic in how you use it as the critical tool to model your decisions and balance your emotions. It's central to the success of the course. This is a must take course. It'll really frame how you think. This is easily the best negotiation course I've ever taken."
"I practiced using my negotiation skills after the course when selling my house, and gained a 5 figure increase in profit for a few minutes work! Excellent course, highly relevant, useful tools."
"The M&A role play sim that was created for us was the most instructive. I gained a clearer understanding of both our client and PE firm's needs, how to gain more vital information, and structure the deal to better meet needs."
"The training insights were well balanced and I found the interactions and workshops very interesting."
"I loved the role playing and learning lots of things that I can apply directly to my work. The final video was of great value as were the revisions."
"My Sales Management team were at first skeptical about their needing negotiation training. Their Sales Representatives face a highly competitive marketplace, demanding that we use the best processes, tools, strategies and skills to defend and grow our bottom line. Our in-house sales training is comprehensive, and we had already completed most relevant profiles and other feedback models available."
"Having worked with this company over the last year, I have particularly appreciated their assistance. The Instructors bring a fresh level of energy to each of the sessions, and manage to deliver pertinent exercises in a professional, yet relaxed environment, which includes time for an objective review of progress. Not recommended for those wishing to stay within their comfort zones."

"Case studies and practicing, real base, aspiration base, batna were all great."
"A most enjoyable and useful course - thank you. The role-play was excellent."
"The final case study was very useful, watching my own behavior on the video and that of others. Also, pausing the tape and teaching us about tactics and ways to make the negotiation process move along faster and smoother, was very useful."
