inPro tip: Your most important negotiation might be with a client's kid who thinks your invoice is a coloring book.
Just last month, a four-year-old used my invoice as a canvas for his dinosaur drawings. It was frustrating in the moment, but @nguyen.river is right about how these things build trust. I ended up framing a copy and giving it to the family as a gift, which they loved. Now I always carry extra coloring pages to avoid future negotiations!
