Negotiation for the professional table

Take charge of the negotiations you're already in.

Not a hostage crisis. Not a boardroom showdown. A client questioning the bill, scope that keeps creeping, a fee that hasn't moved since 2019. The professional table is where the money actually moves — and nobody trains for it. We do.

You negotiated six times this month.

Whether you called them negotiations or not:
The fee conversationRaising rates with a client you like — without an apology in your voice.
The questioned bill"Can you walk me through these hours?" has a right answer. Most professionals give the wrong one.
Scope creep"Just one more thing" is a negotiation. Treat it like one.
The partner conversationComp, credit, and direction — the table closest to home.
The client who shops youWhen "we got a lower quote" isn't really about price.
The salary tableYours, or the one you sit on the other side of.
Philip Danielson, JD — the Negotiation Professor
