In my experience achieving a win-win, understand my client's needs, justifying my rates, offering flexibility, and be open to negotiation. Build trust and remembering.

The bottom line is that any shift in the budget, whether up or down, will impact the scope and scale of what you're creating together. Good producers are excellent problem-solvers, and creativity often thrives within these constraints. So, this doesn’t have to be about sacrifice. The key to a win-win outcome is collaboration—one where both parties work together to make difficult decisions about what truly matters. This collective understanding of the project’s north star helps to inform critical decisions when the clock is ticking on the shooting day and sets your project up for success.

When negotiating a video production budget, my goal is always to achieve a win-win outcome. I start by actively listening to the client's needs and constraints, which helps me understand their priorities. I present a transparent breakdown of costs, highlighting where their investment will yield the most value. By offering options like different package tiers or potential adjustments in scope I empower clients to make informed decisions that align with their budget. Throughout the process, I maintain an open dialogue, reinforcing that we’re partners in creating something exceptional. This collaborative approach not only fosters trust but also leads to a mutually beneficial agreement that satisfies both sides.

I think one of the best ways if the video production is too much expensive for the client and he is suspicious about the outcome is to but a 50% commission on the product from the profit in exchange to do it freely. Specially if you know what are you doing and you believe in the product cause a great company must also have a good idea about the market and if you do it all well you win and the customer win. If you produced the advertisement and it didn’t go well , then you learned somthing and the customer lost nothing its also a win win. But usually customers will go with paying the budget cause they are not going to risk losing 50% profit from the product if it succeed and if so .. then also its a win win ?????? .

Minha abordagem come?a com a análise do perfil do cliente, entendendo suas necessidades e, principalmente, o or?amento disponível para o projeto. A partir disso, defino como posso otimizar a produ??o, incluindo a colabora??o de outros profissionais, equipamentos e o tempo de produ??o necessário. Para facilitar a escolha, sempre ofere?o dois or?amentos: uma op??o "premium" (podendo incluir making-of, fotografias extras, entregas em material físico ou diagnóstico performance) e uma mais básica, mas que ainda preserva a mesma qualidade e relevancia na entrega, mas com menos servi?os agregados. Isso permite flexibilidade para o cliente decidir o que melhor se encaixa em suas expectativas e possibilidades.
