Design Fee Psychology and design Fee Negotiations

Design Fee Psychology and Design Fee Negotiations

Design Fee Psychology:

 Although many of us believe that we make financial decisions based on rational financial criteria, this is seldom the case. How much we charge for design services may not be as important as how we present those charges. This presentation introduces 5 key concepts from the field of Behavioral Finance to demonstrate the crucial role that human emotions play in the design fee proposal and negotiation process.

Fee Negotiations:

 When negotiating design fees many of us believe that reducing our fee is the only way to win new work and resolve conflict. Most of us rely on little more than our gut instincts and peer advice to help us through the negotiation process. In this presentation we take a look at a better way to manage the negotiation process.
