Notes de l'éditeur

  1. I’m responsible for 7digital’s global licensing and have worked on a wide selection of deals covering downloads, on-demand subscriptions, lockers, interactive radio, bundles and micro subscriptions across the range of majors labels, aggregators and indies. Its an all consuming effort that I find interesting and rewarding but highly challenging.
  2. Planning & Organisation Formulate clear strategy – what are the desired outcomes and how to achieve them? Service description – updated and accurate Resource – allocate team Presentation and messaging Commercials – how service will make money Marketing and differentiation – how is the service different Organisational alignment – right people presenting right message to right people Projections - Disclose business plan and projections at the right time Timing – not less than 3 months
  3. The response and counter-proposal Facts – research and factual analysis beats positional behaviour and emotion Intelligence – understanding market dynamics and competition Fair collaboration – speaking to competitors is not de facto illegal Delivery – Enforce earlier statements, business like delivery, no emotion The contractual negotiation Term sheets – are your friend Identifying key issues – warranties are less important than timely invoicing Work allocation – insist on an agreed format for document exchange Meet in person – people are less angry Make careful notes – track progress Common Issues Advances & MGs
