Program Description
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In this audio program, these experts come together to give you the inside track on major deal points, what they mean and what leverage you have to negotiate the best possible deal. Most people think they can just hand a negotiation to a lawyer, and leave it at that. But as a professional, you need to be aware of the process and deal points, too, and what the short- and long-term implications to your artists’ careers may be.
Most importantly, you will see HOW a management deal is negotiated and be involved in the process.
Get educated about the art of deal-making!
