Your boss and your office mates are very happy for you. Now, before the pen touches the paper, he looks up at you and says, “Oh, by the way, would it be okay if we lengthen the payments term?

What do you think are you going to do? What should you do for this last minute changes? Are you going to negotiate again and take the risk of losing your client?

Wow, this is really a very difficult decision to make. If and only if you have not prepared any plans, this will be very difficult.
