"We have hired Thomas to teach his "Smart Negotiator" class annually to our Program Management Development Program. The "Smart Negotiator" training has always received the highest marks from our students in terms of added value to their career. Recently I had the opportunity to attend Thomas's class as a participant. Now I understand why our students appreciate the class so much. It was excellent!"
Brad Magro - Global Director of Program Management
"Tom taught two different negotiation classes for our corporation. I ran two different Program Management Institutes; one for the seasoned PM and one for beginning PMs. Tom tailored his material according to the audience and ensured it was challenging as well as an enjoyable learning experience. In this time period he trained over six hundred of our employees and his ratings were always the highest of all the sessions in the Institute. Tom challenges the belief that many people call themselves negotiators when in fact we are smart shoppers. His manner of instructing gets the points across while having a high degree of class engagement. You can't find this stuff in a book, you have to do it. I highly recommend him."
Chuck Mills - Director Program Management & Integrated Planning
A. T. Kearney has worked with bc&j solutions for many years over many projects. They supported our teams by providing customized negotiations training in conjunction with our trainers as part of Strategic Sourcing training of our clients. The sessions they run always are rated highly, and several times have been cited as "the best course I have ever taken" by our clients. We feel this is because the material is always customized to be relevant to the specific industry and the company we are serving. This keeps the visuals fresh, the audience interested and the retention of the concepts high. Likewise, the style of the presentation and capability of the instructors works well with our teams.
Paul Inglis - Partner
"I have had the pleasure of working with Tom for almost 20 years both as a colleague and a provider and he is, without question, the most influential and persuasive instructor I have met. He is without peer in the art of negotiation and the ability to pass that knowledge to others. Students thoroughly enjoy the experience and thus retention is high. They never forget The Smart Negotiator!.
Ed Armstrong - Program Manager
Tom Rapone's negotiating training provided outstanding results across the years I used he and his program. Tom understands that training must be actionable, people leaving the room with something they can immediately use. The Smart Negotiator does that. Tom delivers training that actually works.
Doug Grouseclose - Grouseclose & Associates, Inc.
