“Where once I dreaded negotiating, April Gilbert taught me and my co-workers to view a negotiation as an opportunity. She prepared me with the strategies and assurances I needed to have one of the most important negotiations of my career. I learned how to recognize and use the power I had in a negotiation to get the outcome I wanted.”

“April taught me a very useful approach for planning and executing critical negotiations. When I deployed her approach during a recent negotiation I found that not only was I successful but also that I actually enjoyed the process! April uses a structured yet pragmatic negotiating methodology that works well with senior executives and gets results.”

— VP, Deloitte

“The examples and hands-on workshops really point out weaknesses and lead me to start evaluating how to better apply the principals to daily activities.”

— Graphic Designer

“I asked April to develop a negotiation seminar for several boutique real estate brokerages. Her task was to create a program designed specifically for agents working in the luxury end of the market. April created a fantastic program that was right on target. Amazingly, one of her negotiation exercises made even the most experienced agent pause as it pointed out a major weakness in the negotiation skills of many agents. If you would like a training program specific to your industry, April Gilbert can deliver it.”

— Broker/Owner, Real Estate Company

“Business learning is everything in a knowledge economy, and negotiations is a very trainable skill.  April’s program is crisp and powerful.  The team put it into practice immediately, and both margins and client satisfaction are up.”

— CEO, Telecom Company

“Negotiating has always been a daunting experience for me. April showed me how navigate a negotiation without being confrontational and remain confident throughout the process. I now have the tools to achieve a professionally rewarding end result. I look forward to future negotiations without experiencing the inherent fear that always accompanied them in the past. Thank you, April!”
