    • ~   “Smartsettle is a unique and effective online negotiation tool.  For disputes that require a monetary settlement, this software is unparalleled, and extremely simple to use.  In practice negotiations, the software makes negotiating fun, and it evens the playing field for those who are not born negotiators.  I will certainly be using this software again.”


Here’s how the competition works:

  • Each visit takes only a few minutes.
  • Your negotiator role is assigned to you.
  • Anonymous counterparties are paired automatically.
  • Players have fun negotiating as many cases as they wish.
  • Players visit their cases several times during the competition.
  • Each negotiator completes at least two negotiations to be eligible for scoring if they wish to be recognized in the Top Standings.
