With Clients, Everything is a Negotiation

Negotiation is a part of any agency staff’s daily experience.   Whether we are talking about timelines, logo size, strategic ideas, internal resources, media spends…everything is negotiable.  The challenge is that these negotiations, whether with colleagues or clients, happen so frequently that often our first impulse is to resolve them quickly. 

However these daily negotiations can set the tone for the entire relationship. 

Join Pam Bloore as she reviews negotiation tactics you can implement immediately to help you reach a “win-win” situation. Handling negotiations properly can make the difference between a productive, equitable relationship or feeling like we are constantly on the losing end of the conversation.
