Course overview
At the most basic level, contract negotiation is when the two parties come together over the drafted contract and align on all the contract terms. Negotiation can sound hostile, but it's mostly about creating the opportunity for both parties to express their concerns and ensure that the contract meets everyone's needs. In this course, we'll talk through the steps of a successful contract negotiation. We'll also discuss making counteroffers, knowing when to compromise, and seeking mutually beneficial agreements.
