Writer's Digest Comments:
"It is evident that the author possesses a great amount of experience about her subject. This comes through not only in the material itself, but althrough her conversational instructive writing tone and the organization of her information. The author's command of her subject matter--from its historical contexts to current practices-- is impressive. Just as importantly, she communicates her understanding of the subject in a clear and coherent manner. Her material is organized in a very common-sense manner, detailing the various situations a reader is l ikely to find himself in. All of this fosters a sense of confidence in the reader that the author's material is to be trusted. "

I'm a Coach from Rhode Island and found the book full of simple, down to earth ways to not only resolve a dispute, but to negotiate what you want! I have already made my money back by using the suggestion "If you don't ask, you don't get" while making my latest hotel reservation!

How To Negotiate Like A Pro; 41 Rules for Resolving Disputes uses a pragmatic approach that works for both simple and complex disputes. I am recommending this book to my law school students to help them now and when they graduate

David Valdes, Playwright and Author of Homo Domesticus,
It's very impressive the way you take something intrinsically true (Rule 3, You Don't Have To Be Right To Settle) and hone it down into a crystal clear truth for the reader.

As a College Professor and Administrator, I wish How To Negotiate Like A Pro had been available when I was dealing with academic disputes. How To Negotiate Like A Pro provides the basic rules of negotiations with scripts to use in most situations. Any academic administrator or teacher can benefit from this book. It is written in plain English with excellent examples. It should be required reading for anyone wanting to know how to resolve disputes.

As a business and life coach, I’ve read a great deal about negotiations and and assisted my clients in conducting them. I find Mary Greenwood‘s, book, How to Negotiate Like a Pro, one of the most useful set of guidelines I’ve encountered. Ms. Greenwood’s 41 Rules cover every aspect of the negotiation process from preparation to being willing to apologize. Because we all have many negotiations in our lives – with family, friends and in business, Ms. Greenwood’s basic, straight-forward point of view and easy going style make this book a must have for everyone.

The book was written in a very clear, concise and easy to understand style. The many practical suggestions in the list of effective techniques (41 guidelines) provide helpful details on negotiations. Mary's background provides an excellent resource on how to negotiate effectively. Techniques essential for for settling labor or other disputes are outlined while practical experiences are related to help the reader apply the techniques.
There are suggestions on dealing effectively with telephone, online and eBay negotiations. Practical guidelines on how to negotiate with an ex-spouse, boss, or hotel management are also included. Applause for an excellent resource.

Kathy D. Doran Author, A handy guide that I consult on a regular basis! How to Negotiate Like a Pro has helped me plan in advance for every business deal and encounter for which I have a desired outcome. After reading Mary's book, I've learned how important it is to stay focused on my goal and not let emotions or the other party's reaction take me off track. The author includes scripts in each chapter that allow the reader to create a foolproof starting point for nearly any situation where negotiation is necessary. She also provides methods that can be used to frame any situation, as well as a helpful glossary that defines words that a lay person may not be familiar with. I find myself referring to this book on a regular basis. FINDING YOUR NICHE
