4. Establish a Win-Win Scenario

Negotiation is a collaborative process. Aim to create a win-win scenario where both parties feel satisfied.

Rather than seeking a higher rate, you may highlight the value you can contribute to the project. Discuss how your experience can help to improve and make the animation a success.
