TOP REVIEWS FROM THE ART OF NEGOTIATION
Amazing course. I was able to successfully negotiate my first business deal (on the first offer) using the principles taught in this course. It's worth taking.
thoroughly enjoyed course on Negotiations.........I recommend the course for anyone seeking to bolster his or her knowledge in the art of negotiations........
Great course! Summarized the experiences I had on actual negotiation. Also provided good tips, hint and resources for further study to improve my negotiation skills.
This course made the material easy to find. The only issue is being able to take the quiz 8 hours after you failed it. I think that is a bit excessive but other than that I enjoyed it.
