This is a great short video from Ed Gartin and April Mitchell on royalty checks and negotiations. I think we want to jump the gun on numbers. It's more of a relationship which leads to those numbers. Market research is key. Are you in the correct ballpark when thinking about negotiations? Make the deal a win- win 🏆 for both sides. Each side has numbers to reach. This video is great at explaining this.
