Negotiating Your Contracts: 30 Perks To Leverage Besides the Pay Theater Life Uncensored

    • Performing Arts

Congratulations! You've landed your dream job!
But what's the offer? It's now time to negotiate the contract.
Most people make the mistake of only focusing on the money, so they're missing out on a ton of other things they could be negotiating.
Likewise, if the pay is non-negotiable, you may think you just have to accept the contract as is.
But that is so not the case!
In this episode, I’m sharing 30 other things you can negotiate besides the money.
Even if you have an agent negotiating for you, it's still helpful for you to know everything you have at your disposal that you can leverage.
That way you can better inform your agent where to push and pull as you're doing the negotiations.
So let's get you the best contract possible!
