Landing the offer is the exciting bit — but the moment you say yes is the moment you stop having leverage. In this 50-minute session, Claire helps you slow down and actually read what's on the table: the rate, the contract type, the dates, the credit, the kit and travel, and the bits that are quietly missing.
Claire sits on the other side of these conversations every week as a Head of Production, so she knows what's genuinely negotiable, what a fair rate looks like for the role and your experience, and where productions expect a push-back. You'll work out exactly what to ask for — and the words to ask for it — without coming across as difficult or pricing yourself out of the gig.
You'll also pressure-test the role itself: does the job title match the responsibility, is the schedule realistic, and is this a step that actually moves your career where you want it to go? You leave knowing precisely what you're signing and how to start strong from day one.
