The Top 10 Negotiation Mistakes Speakers Make
Too many speakers lose opportunities, fees, or leverage not because they lack talent, but because they make avoidable negotiation mistakes. In this high-impact virtual seminar, Linda Swindling, CSP, CPAE, reveals the Top 10 negotiation missteps speakers make and shows you how to replace them with clear, confident strategies that protect your value and your relationships.
You’ll learn how to navigate fee conversations without anxiety, respond effectively to budget objections, avoid giving away leverage too early, and recognize when a “yes” should really be a “no.” This session is practical, direct, and immediately applicable to real client conversations.
