Comments from members of MD2MD:
- As a compressed and time-restricted negotiation skills course, I do not feel it could have been improved. As with any ‘one size fits all’ course, it could never cover the specific issues of my situation with my customers, but in providing the basics, and encouraging further thinking, I am confident that it will bring about better outcomes. Very helpful.
- Great workshop, very valuable and interesting concepts, thanks.
- Practical exercises
