Negotiating Better Rates

Negotiating Better Rates

Negotiation is a skill every model needs. Here's how to advocate for fair compensation.

Negotiation

Before Negotiating

  • Know your market value
  • Understand what the job entails
  • Have a minimum acceptable rate
  • Research the client's budget range

During Negotiation

Be professional and confident. State your rate clearly. If they counter, understand what's negotiable (usage, days, travel) besides money.
