When should you start negotiating a term sheet?
A term sheet is a commercial document. Everything is negotiable. The range available maybe narrow or broad, but if there is zero negotiability, remember - the winner is always the person who is willing to walk away. If it's life or death, don't try to negotiate too hard out of habit. Either accept it or be prepared to walk away. Again, leave emotion at home during the process.

When should you start negotiating a term sheet?
One critical learning: remove the emotion from the equation altogether. Many founders make the mistake of viewing their startups as "babies" etc., thereby injecting emotional content into a transaction that needs to be thought through dispassionately, and with a view to the long term. I have seen more than one term sheet yanked because of overtly emotional responses from founders. Leave the emotion at home please.

When should you start negotiating a term sheet?
Agree 100% with this. In fact, building relationships when you are not fundraising is the best way to go. People write cheques to people they know and trust to do what they say they will do. That takes time. A recent round I helped close took a year from the initial pitch to a signed term sheet. Be prepared to invest that time wisely.

Manage Your UAE Credit Before It Manages YOU!
The National
If you are like the majority of UAE residents, you have almost certainly been tempted by the exciting offers available on the bewildering number of credit cards in the country. As a result, you may have accumulated three, four (or more) cards, most of which lie unused in your wallet or purse because they offer specific benefits that you only need occasionally – such as valet parking at a particular mall or lounge access at the airport. You probably rarely think about these cards and are most…

How To Handle Job Loss In The UAE

We are approaching the end of a tough, economically challenging year. Sometimes, with the season for festivities, along come some other unwanted gifts – lay-offs. Some industries (like banking, for example) will be more affected than others by things like upcoming mergers between giant entities, which mean the departure of thousands of staff whose jobs will have been made redundant.

Some industries (like banking, for example) will be more affected than others by things like upcoming mergers between giant entities, which mean the departure of thousands of staff whose jobs will have been made redundant. However, many companies have felt the pinch of reduced sales revenue, profitability or growth, and a belt-tightening exercise at your firm might affect you directly.

Marketing Review Q2-2011
Marketing Association of Pakistan
Marketing Review thought it appropriate that for this issue, it should take a look at something we have all talked about many a time, but perhaps not really appreciated the importance of - The Big Idea, its relevance to marketing and its impact on the bottom line.
