    Diverse Perspectives
    One of the things I enjoy most about the Negotiations Ninja Podcast is the variety of backgrounds and perspectives from the guests. Mark does a wonderful job of making sure that new theories in social psychology are seemlessly integrated with classic principles and practices from one week to the next. And Mark is an expert facilitator, asking poignant questions and really delving into the power of crisis communication.

    My sales friends, please check this out.
    I’ve been in sales for almost 9 years and have gone through multiple sales trainings. I found this podcast mainly to figure out what goes on in the mind of someone in procurement. Instead of just fine-tuning my sales negotiations skills, I have actually learned to have deeper conversations and connections with my buyers and friends. Friends in sales, go check it out!

    Procurement and Negotiation Legend
    I started listening to Negotiation Ninjas when I began volunteering at a national suicide hotline. Since then, I've learned the basics of negotiation and what it takes to be the best at what I do. Ultimately, I’ve learned how to leave people in a better place than when I found them; in a ninja like way, of course.

    Great Podcast
    I learned a lot from these episodes.
  • jigordon
    3 minutes, no content
    I don’t have a lot of time to spend listening to this type of material. So when I devote time to it, I want content. I tried this podcast today and the first three minutes was just intro, a separate preface intro and then the usual welcome to the show from wherever in the world our awesome guest is banter. For a 40-min podcast, and assuming there are ads in there somewhere, about 10%of the time was wasted telling me stuff I already knew. I unsubscribed after I submitted the review.
