Summary: A dozen of checklists blown up to make a book
Comment: If you like filling lists and pro-forma negotiating "tools" go ahead, plenty of scope for a stiff wrist here, but if you are looking for a book that will really prepare you for a negotiation, forget it.
The problem with books on negotiation is that most are either desriptions of the deals the author(s) clinched (self-aggrandizing), where a common fallacy is made ("It worked for me, therefore it will work for you") or soooo boring and uninspiring, that you would rather read a bus timetable to get some inspiration and motivation (without which you will not be a good negotiator, despite hundreds of check-lists you may make).
This work fits into the second category. I suspect,as with most "workbooks" and sequels to relatively successful first works (such as "Getting to Yes"), that these quick follow-ups are mostly an attempt to capitalize and piggy-back on the previous work and "strike while the iron is hot" by regurgitating the same idea over and over.
Read it (pardon, fill it in) if you have nothing better to do.

Summary: Excellent Book for Those Just Starting in Sales
Comment: Although many of the strategies and prinicples in the book point out obvious everyday issues, it is helpful to see them in black & white. The book's techniques are actually quite simple and useful, but you must have determination for it to be effective. Confidence is something you can't gain just by reading a book; however, at least you can avoid some basic mistakes. Overall a very good book.
