Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing book, lots of useful tips for negotiating. Comment: This book is so good. It gives you insights in how to use the various techniques to get what you want out of a deal.
If you use this plan you will be a better negotiator, no doubt about it. There are a couple of things in the book that are a little bit over the top, as in almost every book. The main ideas that Roger Dawson tries to convey to the reader are repeated a couple times throughout the course of the book just so that the reader can really understand what needs to be done to negotiate well.
I've used these techniques many times in my daily routine with small things so I can practice the skills. After a while I'll start using them with more important deals. Very helpful book. Not boring at all. You get your money's worth for it and you learn a lot from it.
