Our Services in Their Words

 

Jim Davies - Category Procurement Manager - Cadbury -(UK)
"All of it.  The fun and safe method of training to highlight areas for improvement, for me has been really useful"

Colm Ahern - Technical Services Manager - LVMH - (UK)
"The structure and content of the different steps that make up the process, also the cameras were a great tool for feedback - also pushing yourself in areas that you had no experience before was very rewarding"

Michelle Little - Senior Buyer Starbucks Coffee Company.
"I would like to thank Sandy Sabarra and Mike Milich for their enthusiastic and uplifting presentation of the Scotwork Negotiating Skills program last week here in Seattle, WA [USA]. The Scotwork exercises permitted us to absorb the material quickly and exercise 'The Eight Steps' by preparing and negotiating best terms and outcome for our respective positions".
 
Marko Pantti - Tamglass
"Last Friday I had a meeting with a customer who has been really challenging in terms of negotiating. By using the Scotwork methodology the negotiation was much easier. Your course was really helpful for me".

Marina Petrova - Managing Director - The Agency Group
"I already had a chance to practice what I learnt at several important negotiations, and the results of those actually already covered the tuition fee. Basically the same day we left I was faced with the situation when one of our employees got a better financial offer from our competitor and fortunately after some negotiations, he stays with our agency. Then in several days we had a number of new business tenders, where "wish list" appeared to be very useful tool which finally helped us to get a big client.
Another interesting observation - I think I now know several clients who attended your course earlier; and as you rightfully noted, it IS really easier to negotiate with them!
Thanks again for the terrific course and I hope to be back soon with training booking for our group managers".

Rob Scopes - Deloitte & Touche LLP
"I think you should hear of one quantified success story.  I have just completed fee negotiations for 3 pieces of work at FTSE100 client, totaling circa £800k, and client was seeking a circa 20% discount initially.  I eventually got them to settle at a 3.5% discount - so you could quote a saving of 16.5% of £800k as a quantified benefit of being on the course".

 

Michael Anderson, Business Evaluation and Economics - BHP Billiton
"A humbling, necessary & invaluable experience that I would recommend to all who wish to improve their capability to negotiate".

Phuong Nguyen, Internet Marketing Manager - eBay
"Highly useful & immediately recommendable"

 

Robert Terrone. National Business Manager - Reckitt Benckiser
"Cannot be faulted, invaluable!"

 

Alastair McCausland, Senior Category Manager - Cadbury Schweppes
"Absolutely fantastic - a real confidence booster".

 

Jeff Munro, Development Manager - MLC
"An outstanding personal & professional development tool that you can run with from day one"

Ashwina Pratap, Procurement Specialist - Corporate Express
"A must for everyone - useful, practical and fun"

 

Lorna Raine, Chief Financial Officer - Yum! Restaurants International
"Outstanding"

Vladislav Korneev AFR Manager - Alpha Cement
"I had some training in negotiation skills before, in the course of my MBA (Managing innovation and change), but I find the Scotwork course more practical and 'up to the point'".

Michael Kelly - Debenhams.
"I was updating my CV today and still regard the training I received from Scotwork as the best course I have ever attended. I was working with Debenhams at the time, and I can honestly say that it was a "Life Saver" as one of the lessons learnt helped me a few years later when faced with a AK 47 toting Serbian Militia man at a mountain roadblock during the Bosnian Conflict"

Andy Molnar MD - Straumann
"We selected Scotwork 3 years ago, following an extensive search into negotiation skills training companies, with the desired outcome of improving the negotiation skills of our UK sales force. We have now run courses for our key sales people on the front line of delivering business, and intend to continue doing so. The course is extremely well accepted by the team, often described as 'the best course, they have been on', and most importantly - it works! We calculated a 15 fold return on investment in the course during 2007, based upon improvement price negotiations with customers. The Scotwork Negotiation Skills Training program is the most cost-effective piece of training we have ever conducted."
