What's included in this course?
Begin the course by getting to know your teacher, Mònica Rodríguez, and how she transformed sales situations from an anxiety-inducing experience into an opportunity to build fruitful relationships.
Look at the most common fears that plague creatives when it comes to negotiating or presenting work and learn how to overcome them. Mònica then goes over the steps involved in the sales process, explaining why preparation is crucial in each.
Next, put together a visual plan of how to approach your negotiation. Compile information about the parties involved before creating a needs inventory and laying out the sales scenario in detail.
To wrap up, learn how to deal with a "no" and other possible outcomes after your conversation to be ready for the next phase or set your sights on new opportunities as a confident creative.

It is ok for having a big picture about sales and negotiation. Personally, I wanted to have all the materials in English, not in Spanish.
