  1. "Chris, I think you're great and would love to hire you, but I don't think I'm going to see that much more value when compared to your competitor to justify that price difference."

    what would he say to that?

  2. Brands might accept this notion but majority of Realtors won’t. Your a commodity to them and the standard of video ever since the TVP coarse got leaked and studio 910 started educating the world, its never been easier to be replaced

  3. A normal person would have negotiated down to 30-40%.. maybe even 20%.. lower the percentage, longer time for revenue, and vice versa.. A normal promotional video is not very long lasting, so it would be wise to reconsider the purpose of the video, length of the video, the effects added and the supposed time peak… speaking of facts, it's easier to negotiate..

  4. This guy is no business man, he is more worried of sharing profit higher tha 1k, than making profit for more than 1k. He should go back to hourly and stop worring if getting rich means sharing the profits with those who contribute on making you richer.

  5. I love this video… however…
    As a designer/entrepreneur that’s been in the design industry for 25+ years in NYC, I have yet to see anyone or any company act within the compacity of honesty and trust worthiness.
    If you think a client that is nitpicking about $1000 is going to honor paying 50% of revenue generated (presumably in perpetuity, or any amount of time) you’re kidding yourself.
    Plus…. You’ll have to eventually sue them, which deters your time and finances away from growing your business.
    However, for the sake of the argument, it’s a really great way to get the customer to see the value in paying the flat fee.
    Kudos. 👏👏👏

  6. But then you have to wonder.. if I give him a 1000? Will he do as good of a job knowing that's all he's going to get?
    What if he takes your attitude and thinks, I'm only getting a thousand to make him all that extra money.
    I'd definitely give him a percentage with no risk.
    Because now he's invested and you're definitely going to get 100% of his efforts.
