CA Prof. Dr. H.
"As a chief physician, I was very happy with my profession but rather unhappy with my former salary. Dr. Hermann Rock led the negotiations with the managing director with immense kindness, perfect methodology, and absolute precision. Initially, the opposing party showed little interest in my propositions, yet, with a strategic shift, Dr. Rock managed to engage their attention, dramatically increase their motivation, and secure my desired new salary. Fascinatingly, he consistently anticipated the opposing side's responses with remarkable accuracy and events transpired exactly as he predicted. My gratitude towards him is boundless, as I now not only find fulfillment in my career but also in my earnings again."
