Ratings and Reviews for Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills

Interesting and valuable course! In depth look on logic, essence and analysis of negotiations and interests of negotiating parties.

Great class! The Professor did a great job in explaining the concepts and how to apply them.

This is a great course i´m very happy of have taken class with this teacher.

The instructor delivers 'common sense' but vital and often overlooked insights on the aspect of negotiation. Before I finished 'week three' of the module I could see for myself that my negotiation skills have greatly improved. This is way beyond a theoretical course.

The course helped me fine-tune my negotiation skills. Want to thank Prof. George Siedel for presenting this amazing course in a spectacular manner. The examples conveyed by him in this course provided easier understanding about the concepts & tactics. After completing Week-3 of this course, I tested my negotiation skill and this is the result of the same - "I live as a Paying Guest in a Hostel with a monthly rental of INR 5,500 which includes accommodation & food. Since I go to my office on second shift, i was not able to have lunch & dinner from my hostel which was increasing my expenses. I went to my Hostel Owner and started negotiating regarding the same to reduce my rent. I was able to make him fall into 7 of the 10 traps. I was able to reduce the rent to INR 4,400 and he even permitted me to have lunch & dinner if I want to at the same cost. I promised him to find 3 members to fill the empty rooms available in the hostel. This was a great saving to me and the deal was even too. I was able to find 3 occupants for the vacant room within a week. Now both of us are very happy with the deal. Very recently, I was even able to sell a used mattresses to him at a fair rate by which I found the amount of goodwill he had in me." Though this might be a very small thing, I was very happy that in my current negotiations I was able to achieve a Win-Win situation that favors both the parties. I finally thank the Coursera Team for providing me the financial aid for pursuing this course and I request the Coursera Team to forward this review to Prof. George Siedel as my thanking token:)

I think Mr. George Siedel is an excellent teacher and this course is quite good overall. Thanks to coursera for providing such high quality courses.

Very good

Muy práctico y claro. El profesor tiene gran habilidad para dar buenos ejemplos y ser claro en los conceptos del curso. Termino el curso feliz por lo aprendido y satisfecho por la experiencia.

Some strategies I learnt, I would have never thought of. An interesting course and quite enjoyable. A great course for any business person who needs the essential ingredients for negotiating. Thank you to the lecturer and much appreciated. Perhaps a little additional material to give it some depth? I just felt a little more was needed to validate the material to put what we learn into practice. But apart from that, a worthwhile course for anyone that needs to negotiate in their business. I am sure I will refer back to this from time to time, as some pointers will help keep you in focus with your strategies.

have helped in navigating through the fallacies that surrounded me about negotiation.
