    Conceptual agreement: Concurrence with that buyer about the objectives for the project, the metrics that will measure progress and/or success, and the value to the organization and the buyer that will accrue as a result of meeting those objectives.

    Serve as an agreement for nonvalue relationships, such as pricing by day, participant, materials, labor, and so forth.1
  • Katherine Dzunovichhas quoted7 years ago
    Cite legal provisions and covenants.
    Be valid and acceptable without time limits.
  • Katherine Dzunovichhas quoted7 years ago
    Describe the value that will occur once the objectives are met (both personally and professionally).
    Supply options from which the buyer can choose to determine the amount of value sought in return on the investment (ROI) committed.

    Summarize and convey formally the conceptual agreements reached in discussions to that point between you and the economic buyer.
    Detail the objectives of the project.
    Provide for the metrics of success.

    Three golden rules:
    7. Options escalate business dramatically.
    8. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
    9. You are past the point of return in terms of negotiating.
  • Ivanhas quoted7 years ago
    And the buyer just may suggest that you return in person for a “final” discussion with the amendments.

    When a buyer says, “Great proposal, it’s made it to the short list,” or “We’re now looking only at you and one other firm,” or “Someone else is 25 percent less expensive making it a harder choice for me,” you do not have a trusting relationship with the buyer.

    Two golden rules:
    10. You’re most influential when you’re not there with the proposal.
    11. Don’t fix things that are working just fine.
  • Ivanhas quoted7 years ago
    4. If the buyer says, “Yes, I haven’t seen your fees!” respond, “That’s true, and you’ll see fees, options, and ROI in detail tomorrow!”
