"Jim Camp taught me more in 30 days than I had learned in 25 years as a global Sr. Vice President of Sales.”

"The Camp negotiating training system is second to none. I highly recommend their negotiation training courses as well as Jim Camp's published negotiation books. All the services will show you a return on investment before you even complete them!"

"Jim Camp has forgotten more about negotiating than other so-called 'experts' ever knew. You'll benefit greatly from his wisdom and pragmatic advice."

"I read "Start with No®." Hands down, it's the best (out of 12) negotiation / sales books I've read thus far. Without disrespect to Zig Ziglar, Roger Dawson, and others, I needed a little more than inspiration and a pep talk. I needed negotiation training examples, tutelage, and methods to improve my skill set. Your negotiation book gave me that."

"The board approves $85,000,000 for the acquisition. I hope we spend $50,000,00. You coach me on negotiations, and we get it for $16,000,000. Everyone now calls me lucky and I just smile. I am not going to tell them about you but don’t worry there are many more to do. You make it fun."

"I received your materials a few weeks ago and all I can say is "Thank You." I have read both books and just started on the CDs. In two short weeks I have seen dramatic results in my production. Instead of being needy and focusing on quotas I've done exactly as you instructed. By concentrating on my activities and behavior my appointments are through the roof. Better yet when I sit down with folks I'm hoping for a "no." I never thought I would say that. Thanks again and if you are in Washington DC in the future let me know. I would like nothing better than to meet you face to face."

"The Camp System has elevated my thinking and provided me with a system that I can apply to both business and personal interactions. Stop burning your money and time on win-win, compromise, etc. When you're ready to stop settling for mediocrity and get serious about your career contact Jim. With this system I have opened the doors to accounts that would otherwise have only been a wish or a dream."

"Your system has become the foundation for all my interactions, frankly personal as much as professional. Your books sit right on my desk and are used frequently! I've said it before and will say again, your negiotiation tools are the best, period end!"

"Jim, you gave me a copy of your book "Start with No®" in 2003. In 2004 my bookings were up 70% because of what you teach. In 2005 I was the number one Captain in sales for Grey's Taxidermy in the world. Again in 06 and second in 07. Bottom line over $375,000 in found revenue because of you."

"I've got your negotiation training CDs and started to listen intensely to them. (again & again just to be sure that I understand fully & correctly). Interesting, very interesting, they (CDs) are definitely worth their money, in my opinion. Thanks a lot."

“Do you know why you are the world's number on negotiation coach? You are the only negotiation expert in the world. You know why? Because as you say in the book, your system gives us the tools to deal with the commotion of emotion in negotiations. No one else in the world does that.”

"I finished the three-CD set. I started the 20 point system daily track. I listened to the CD's two times & created a sheet. It definitely has changed me, my daily behavior & my daily habits. It's making me more focused on my daily goals with my ultimate personal mission & purpose in mind. What an eye opener! In addition, I've created a script for prospects when they call me directly or when they leave a message. I'm batting 100% in setting up appointments for the office manager. My payday is around the corner. Now my next goal is to do "cold calls". I'm very nervous about this part; this is way out of my comfort zone but I'm going back over the CD set on cold calling. Each time I listen, I pick up something else that keeps reducing my "fear". I tried it for a couple of days -- BOMB CITY. But I realized I didn't have a clear picture of what I doing. Since then, I've been working with the office manager and my picture is alot clearer. My fear in doing call calling is getting much lower. thanks! My negotiating skills in general have improved dramatically just listening to your CD's. I'm so excited because I've never felt this much control before. My only response is WOW!

"When I first heard you speak at the Inc. conference you made perfect sense on what I was missing in negotiation training. When we began working together the perfect sense turned into millions for me and my family. I will be forever be grateful."

"First, I'll say outright that I love your negotiation book, and the negotiation training CD course is excellent. There's no question in my mind that Start with No® is the finest work on negotiation available today."

"I was really amazed at the negotiation outcome. Our adversary, who started with a firm, no move stance, almost became malleable as we not only achieved our target walk-away, but we exceeded it. Ended up being worth millions of dollars which we could have left on the negotiation table! And at the end, I do believe that both negotiation parties were happy with the negotiation results. I am now a true believer."

"Once again Jim Camp has made a very sophisticated negotiating training strategy seem straightforward and easy to follow. What is especially impressive is the number of facets of one's life in which his negotiation training strategy can be deployed. One tends to think of negotiating training as reserved for the business world, but while critical everyday on the business front, when reading the negotiation book "NO: The Only Negotiating System You Need for Work and Home" you quickly realize what a difference this negotiation training strategy can make outside the business world as well. The Camp negotiation training strategy is simply empowering and it has become second nature and indispensable to me in every part of my life, business and personal."

"I took your negotiation class in Berkley in 2003 when you booted the Intel crew from class and to date it is the most valuable class I've ever attended. I learned a lot about negotiations but more importantly I learned how to use mission statements. I write mission statements for everything I do - big or small. Strip lines were pretty cool too. Thanks and keep up the great work."

"I have finished reading half of your latest negotiation training book and very soon will complete the book and I can tell you that this is the best book I have read ever. I am very very excited and this negotiation training book has opened a new mindset for me. I am ready to learn more about this new negotiating training system and want to teach others the same because I believe that only 1 in 1000 people in the business world know this amazing negotiation training system."

"All I have to say is WOW. I've listened to the first 3 coaching cd's for the past few days. I've replayed them several times and I always pick up something new. You've opened my appreciation of the whole negotiation process. And I've just listened to the first three cd's. I can't wait for the ending!!!"

"I am only on chapter 4 of the negotiation book Start with No®….but I have to tell you this is great. I wish I had learned this 20 years ago. We are in the Executive Recruiting business and work in the area of negotiating everyday….I believe this will be an invaluable tool for me not only here, but in other areas of life as well. After reading the part about…I don’t know if we are right for you, I just don’t know….I put that to the test in an email to one of the largest potential customers in our area – his administrative assistant called me within 30 minutes to set up an appointment in two weeks. I’ll let you know how it goes….but I’m going to start off with giving him the option of saying No right from the start. Anyway, thank you for what I have read so far. I am looking forward to the Camp negotiation training techniques I will learn."

"Just finished reading your first book, Start with No®. I'm now reworking my sales efforts to incorporate the processes you discuss. Thanks so much for being so clear and encouraging."

"Through the past several years I had the pleasure to read and re-read the negotiation book Start with No®, Jim Camp's initial discourse on the strategic negotiation value of the word, "NO." In his latest negotiation work, Jim broadens and amplifies his negotiation training ideas and demonstrates the power of NO with a set of negotiation training principles to guide the negotiator. His extraordinary negotiation training concepts cannot be dismissed as mere contrarian notions. Jim takes us step-by-step through negotiation training processes with insightful examples and simple practice methods that demonstrate how the "NO" principle leads us to the best negotiation decision. In a world of copious loads of information, hashing and rehashing sameness repackaged as new and improved, Jim Camp delivers a fresh and bold body blow to the gut of those anxious to get to yes. If you can master the "NO" negotiation training principle, then you will become a powerful negotiator."

"Start with No® really helped me out when I needed to negotiate a freelance contract during the depths of the dot.com recession. I thought you would appreciate this note that I just received from my brother in the medical billing field after I recommended your negotiation training book: 'I used exactly the techniques that the negotiation book suggested and my customer just agreed to a rate increase from 5.49% to 7.49% (a 36% increase). Like I told you we were losing money each month on the account so now it will be profitable.' Not only did my brother succeed in getting a rate increase, he worked out some mutually advantageous processing procedures with the client and renewed their relationship. I noticed that you have a new negotiation training book. I will buy it."

"BOTH OF YOUR BOOKS ARE AWESOME!!! I agree with understanding neediness, just seeing what Microsoft has said to Yahoo. Reaffirms EVERYTHING you teach."

"I was fortunate to have seen and heard you speak at the Sheraton with Troy McClain this past month. What impressed me the most was your website and your list of books! I wrote notes while you spoke about laser like vision and Emerson’s essay on Compensation. You mentioned your passion for our youth and I handed your daughter our address and my son’s name. You sent the book and I have been reading it! It is all I can do not to highlight and write in the margins. I am in the mortgage field and just got hired on to First Mortgage Corporation in Upland. The company is doing great. We have been in business 35 years and do FHA, CalStrs and CalPers, First Time Home Buyer Programs etc. One of the things that I read from your book is how I can change my behavior and the actions I take. I have been more motivated and productive. Thanks so much for your encouragement!"

"Thanks for writing the negotiation book "NO"; it's a staggering change to most of what I've learned about selling, but it aligns so much better with the values I've always felt have been buffeted by the 'traditional' ways. I'm looking forward to starting to put it into practice."

"Having just finished Chapter 5, of the stuff I've had a chance to read this time, this is the best. I think it's phenomenal and may be the best overall representation of the entire system. It's very revealing of the benefits of the system, yet doesn't actually give away all the nuts & bolts. It struck me the most as indicating that there is a lot to the system not in the chapter. I think it would be the best at making me want to know what else is there if I was new to the entire course. It's an exceptional chapter and very well written."

"How many precious hours have you spent reading about becoming a better negotiator? And after all of that, how confident are you that you are on the track to being a better negotiator? Jim Camp’s “No” puts that track clearly in front of you with an accessible presentation of Camp’s "Systematic Decision-Based Negotiation."

"One month ago in Madrid´s airport, I bought your book "No" and started to practice the things it said....incredible!!!!! I am a 36-year-old lawyer, always negotiating with the judge, clients, and other lawyers. I have improved myself more in a month than in years after reading your book."

Where others tell good negotiation training stories and leave the reader at a loss for how to replicate success, Jim Camp provides a few honest negotiation training principles and has developed low-risk negotiation training excercises for how to implement those negotiation training principles in your life. Make no mistake - The effort and discipline required to work through Camp’s negotiation training excercises and to turn his negotiation training principles into habits are significant.

What reward could possibly be worth the effort? Every book on negotiation tells you how important it is to prepare. Camp helps you learn HOW to prepare so you can feel in control in every negotiation. Imagine that… And imagine using these negotiation training skills to continually improve relations in all aspects of your life.

"Just finished your book, and wanted to thank you for continuing my wheels of progress forward. I have studied sales, and transactional analysis for the past 6 years, and your book flipped the switch on a lot of dark areas."

"For those who read Camp’s “Start with No®,” this new negotiation training volume represents a maturation of the earlier work. You will find clear prose, helpful negotiation training exercises for stepping into Camp’s negotiation training System, new negotiation case studies, and that many negotiation training rules have been further distilled into core negotiation training principles."

"It is hard to believe it has been almost twenty years since I met you coming out of grad school. What you taught me and coached me on was so straightforward and so powerful it made a lot of the negotiation training challenges seem easy. Not a day goes by I don't apply the negotiation training principles."

"I congratulate you because your book in Spain is succeeding. The language used in your book is very fluid. I was also delighted because you speak on the emotional aspect."

"When we started this project I had my doubts that it would ever close. We have never been able to come to negotiated terms with them before. But here we are, under contract and moving into their entire market. This is an unexpected $6,500,000 per quarter with a great margin of 57%. Your negotiation training system and your negotiation coaching are amazing. Thank you."

"I thought then, and still consider, the best explanation of questioning technique for gathering negotiation information I had ever found. No other negotiation training book or course explains it so well. I think your negotiation training materials are of good value."

"This is an overdue note of thanks to you for your negotiation training book, Start with No®. Simply put, the book has changed my life. The story is too long to go into here, but I hope someday to meet you to tell you about it personally."

"I want to thank you for your negotiation coaching. What a shot in the arm for us. Actually you saved us. We were excited when they offered $600,000 but we did what you told us to do and after 5 negotiation sessions with them and 30 days later $8,000,000. I would not have believed it."

"I loved "No" so much I took the liberty to share it. My friend raved about it. That is what will happen with this negotiation training book. It will be shared and its negotiation teachings will spread....a winner but so much more important is all the great things that will come from all the people you have and will touch in the future."
