Very valuable tools and strategies that can be applied to both personal and work environments. It helps to understand that we may have more power than we think in negotiating, and can use creative ways to provide both parties a win/win negotiation. Fun seminar. Highly recommend to others!

This is the first really viable seminar I've ever been to. It tackles all areas of organization structure.

Jason G.
Supervisor of Repair Management

We had one really difficult negotiation with a firm to determine pricing for their services. It was the worst negotiation I have ever experienced. The training from the Karrass course gave me a definite advantage. Our outcome was positive, fair and beneficial to both parties. Your training also caused me to question what might be the reason for the tough stance they were taking. Some of the reasons, time has now revealed. They were issues that you covered in the seminar. It was wonderful training and the monthly negotiating tips have been great. Thank you!
