Some of the following testimonials came from participants on their six week follow-up evaluation
after attending the POSITIVE POWER AND INFLUENCE® Program. The others came unsolicited
from supervisors of past participants:


“After the program, we not only saw individuals with improved skills, but also increased team
effectiveness. The Influence skills program opened the minds of individuals to behaviors of others
around them, and consequently how to be effective in a group.“

“Disarmed an angry manager by bridging with him in a meeting.”

“Eight years after graduating from [the] POSITIVE POWER AND INFLUENCE® Program, I am still
using the skills and techniques I gained there. The training is so effective, I was able to walk out of the
workshop and successfully apply new Influence styles to real life situations in my organization. The
role plays and facilitation sessions really helped me retain and utilize what I learned.”

“I have been able to utilize bridging to obtain approval on a monthly report sent to the field.  The
bridging was successful with our legal department.  This was one of the goals I set at the seminar.”

“The program has been helpful when working with sales reps, specifically teaching them how to
bridge better with doctors.”

“A Veterans’ Administration Hospital has continually given me a hard time bringing in new meds and
reacted very differently once my approach was sharpened.  The skills I learned helped me get my
products into the hospital and my competitors’ out.”

“Supplier-customer teams: Got them to buy in on specific criteria for supplier certification.”

“I used bridging and persuading to get a group of vice presidents and peers to delay a product’s
introduction in order to do it right the first time.”

“Negotiated with my boss for additional time and resources to complete a project.  (Time and
resources are hard to come by in this department!)”

“Used bridging technique to gather a large amount of information from a person who normally does
not share information or knowledge.”

“My current job is to Influence and persuade employees on the health and safety aspects of their job.  I’
m using the different techniques of Influence.  I have accomplished in two months what the previous
engineer could not in five years.”

Open-to-the-Public Training Programs!

6 weeks after attending The Negotiation Strategy and Tactics Program participants were asked  
“Is there a situation in which you achieved a specific measurable result through techniques
practiced in the program?” The following are some of the responses:

“We were able to put together three separate agreements with a combined value of 9 to 10 million.  
Negotiations resulted in savings of 20 percent (+/-) off quoted (not list) pricing.  Savings estimated
$1.5 million.”

“Working on a team to develop a contract with a vendor, we were able to save our company nearly one
million dollars by using Negotiation Strategy and Tactics.”

“Purchasing was able to negotiate a sale and trade for 25,230 feet of surplus casing and recovered
our book value in the amount of $835,000.  In the trade portion of the negotiations, we were able to
use some of the Houston region’s 4Q90 casing requirements as incentive for a vendor to trade for the
remaining 103⁄4" surplus casing.”

“I have just completed signing a contract for pacemakers for the next twelve months and anticipated
savings will be in the $300,000 range.”

“Negotiated a 50% discount on software and ongoing maintenance contracts for a corporate-wide risk
management system.  Estimated savings: $240,000.  Obtained additional vendor services at no
charge, such as modifications, additional software modules, and support for installation.”

“Working on a team to develop a contract with a vendor, we were able to save our company nearly one
million dollars by using Negotiation Strategy and Tactics.”

“Met with a joint interest owner in a producing property we operate to attempt to resolve $27,000 in
disputed charges.  As a result of the meeting, the joint interest owner agreed to pay the entire amount.”

“Successfully negotiated a performance program (annual) with one of our major customers that
delivered an additional $65K to the bottom line.  This was the test case identified at the course.”

“In most recent negotiations with an external contract, we saved roughly $20,000 on a $50,000
contract.  In addition, their ‘wants’ were met.”

“Saved a $400,000 contract with XXX corporate account while maintaining average list price.  Gave up
some ancillary computer programs that meant a lot to this account but very easy to justify on our end.”
