What People are Saying About
Corporate Partnering - A "How-To" Handbook"

      "Strategic partnering is what put us on the INC 500 list of the fastest growing companies. In today's fiercely competitive marketplace, strategic partnerships and joint ventures are the fastest way to grow your company.
     Sahakian has created a concrete, practical, step-by-step guide that reveals the secrets of how to quickly overcome barriers to growth. It's the most practical and comprehensive guide I've seen."

     Terry Kirch, President of RIMS, winner of the Entrepreneur of the Year Award sponsored by INC Magazine, Ernst & Young, and Merrill Lynch

    In the last 15 years I've done more partnerings than I can count, from a $250,000 one with Dupont to a $7,000,000 one with Mitsubishi. I've read all the books on the subject I can find. Sahakian's is far and away the best. The others were heavy on theory and light on practical advice. Sahakian instead gives you practical and realistic guidance.
     He takes you by the hand, step-by-step, and shows how to make immediate use of partnering. Nothing of practical importance is overlooked! Even with all my experience, a month after I read Sahakian's book I used his "Deal Sheet" technique to turn a problem deal into one of the most lucrative I've ever done.
     I was surprised at how powerful it proved to be, and it really kept the other side's lawyer on a short leash. Sahakian offers smart, pragmatic solutions to hundreds of real-life problems. I found his techniques so useful that I sought him out for a brief consultation. It paid for itself many times over!"

     Robert Almblad, founder of Axxess Entry Technologies and LaserKey

     "It is the most practical and useful book on the subject we have come across. For anyone interested in partnering, and other merger and acquisition combinations, it's a must read."
      Fred Potts of The National Review of Corporate Acquisitions

     "The concepts seem so obvious, but only after you read them. My background is in technology. It's helped me walk alone into difficult negotiations with experienced negotiators and win.
     What I've saved in legal fees alone is many times over what I paid for it."

     Frank Sternberg, President of Key Concepts, Inc.

     "I've used Sahakian's techniques. They're amazingly effective. He discloses the inside secrets of how to quickly acquire capital, customers and distribution - how to turn a mediocre company into a nimble, profitable and fierce competitor.
     With partnering you can rapidly reconfigure how you compete and respond to changing demands - yet still avoid the headaches and delays of re-engineering the internals of your organization.

     Michael Zimmerman, Marketing Consultant

     "Corporate Partnering by Sahakian is the text I turn to when I'm lecturing on joint ventures. Sahakian does a superior job of taking theory and making it practical.
     The book is filled with common sense techniques, tools and strategies you can use to fire up a weak company to produce quantum leaps in performance. It contains proven techniques for generating quick growth in rapidly changing environments.
     It's must reading for anyone charged with creating dramatic change."

     Michael Marasco, Lecturer at the Northwestern University Kellogg School of business and the DePaul University Kellstadt Graduate School of Business

     "I more than tripled my profits with the techniques, insights, and strategies in Sahakian's book. Sahakian takes a difficult subject and presents it clearly and concisely.
     A handful of times I found myself asking "what if..." only to find a practical common sense solution on the next page. You don't know what you are missing until you start using his techniques!
     Try it. You'll get more spectacular results than you ever thought possible."

     Robert Qually, CEO of Qually & Company

     "...a concrete, practical, step-by-step guide...over 100 partnering examples... explains how to use 25 basic partnering agreements...outlines the value and use of 'deal sheets'..."
      The National Review of Corporate Acquisitions

     "I went to the library to find books on the subject. All I found were dry texts by people who couldn't put together a deal to save their soul. Sahakian's book has no theory - just concise specific directions on how to produce results."
      John Szala, Manager, Business Alliances
