Today’s issue is brought to you by Dollar Flight Club.
Let's discuss a crucial aspect of brand negotiations.
There's one golden rule: Timing is everything! 🕰️💡
Here's the deal… There's a specific time when you should resist the urge to follow up with a brand, and that's during the negotiation phase. ⏳💼
When you're in the thick of it, it's best to hold back and patiently await their response. 🤐🙏
Why, you ask? 🤷♀️
Well, reaching out or following up too soon during negotiations can send the wrong message. It might give the brand the impression that you're willing to lower your prices or expand the scope of deliverables. 😬💰
That's not the vibe you want in the negotiation arena!
Instead, play it cool and let the negotiation process unfold naturally. 🤝
Of course, if you haven't heard back after a reasonable time, say, at least 7 days, then by all means, follow up.
But remember, patience is key during this delicate dance of deals! 🙌🕊️
