Negotiation Without Burning Bridges

[lingriiddd]

Negotiating rates and scope is an art.

Lead with value: highlight what you bring, not what the market pays.

Be firm but flexible. Offer tiered packages instead of yes/no on requests.

Document all agreements in writing to avoid miscommunication.

Pro freelancers know: a well-negotiated deal is the foundation of long-term relationships.

[Abdul Khan]

Strong negotiation is about long-term relationships, not short-term wins.
