Excerpts:

• Should a problem arise, both parties negotiate partial payment for completed work or at the very least, payment for completed milestones. (page 124)
• Note whether these dates conflict with your own schedule or your ability to supply needed resources. If they do, talk about them with the bidder or plan on negotiating more feasible timelines. (Negotiation topic comin’ up soon…) (page 213)
• The section then introduces the art of negotiating terms so that when you get down to a handful of viable coders, you’ll already know what to do to get the best deal. (page 257)
• By the time you start thinking about negotiating, you’re really thinking about what it’s going to take to hold on to a fantastic coder you found. Something in her/his bid has you excited. (page 267)
• The most obvious difference is that in arbitration, the decision is final. There’s no negotiation, no second chances, and no turning back. That’s what makes arbitration so serious. (page 336)
