“Mark came to our office and gave an engaging and educational talk on negotiation. He was able to get the whole group participating in a topic that they weren’t certain they needed to learn about. Mark’s presentation and teaching gave the team tools around negotiation that they could immediately apply to their roles within the company and their personal lives.”

Helping companies reduce employee injuries by providing innovative and appropriate Industrial Footwear, Glove, PPE and Safety Workwear solutions. I, along with our entire sales team just completed the Negotiation Ninja training with Mark and it is safe to say that this program exceeded the expectation of myself and our entire team. Mark is an excellent facilitator who does an excellent job balancing classroom style learning with group breakout assignments that keep the team engaged but also give them the perfect platform to practice what they have learned. Although the course was delivered virtually over 3 days, Mark did a great keeping the team engaged and constantly involved in the training. I believe the most refreshing and effective part of Mark’s training/ facilitation is his use of role play activities to not only keep the team engaged but also give them an opportunity to showcase/test what they have learned.
The content of his course is well thought out, easy to understand and most important of all, easy to execute once you leave the course. While the course is about building negotiation skills, Mark does an excellent job weaving in other areas of skill development that round out and compliment the program as a whole.
I would highly recommend this training program to any sales professional or organization that is looking to develop their negotiation skills. Mark is extremely easy to work with and does an excellent job learning your business so that he is able to make the training more relevant to you and your team. Top notch facilitator with a top notch program. Well worth the investment !”
