I was a bit silent this week, because we were working on two deals for our recruitment company.
One of them we closed last week for 40k, but we had the feeling there could be more money to make, so we renegotiated it this week.
Turned out to become a 200k (in best case 250k depending on commissions) deal.
(Currency is EUR which is more or less the same the USD.)
The initial deal was about 4 months for 10k each, as a trial period with an additional potential 10k commission over time.
Since the company did asked questions about other services we made another offer to do additional services, which they were interested in.
Finally we closed this:
17k a month over 12 months, with commissions coming on top of it. So that makes a bit over 200k guaranteed with commission potential between 40 and 60k.
