A Contract Negotiation Playbook is a tailored and comprehensive guide to successful contract negotiations for your business.
It is your roadmap for gold-standard negotiations and will usually include details on:
- recommended contract wording;
- explanations and rationale statements to discuss with the other party;
- secondary positions and strategies for broaching these points;
- limits of approval and when/where to escalate for approval; and
- even data on what the industry standards or best practices might be.
