WikiFree recommends it when you want a clearer structure before a discussion about salary, a purchase or another financial arrangement. The short course does not cover every stage of negotiating, closing and managing an agreement.
Use the concepts to clarify your decision process rather than treat them as a script. Knowing your alternatives and limits can help you assess an offer, but the course does not promise a particular saving or financial outcome.
