Non-Negotiable Offers
Non-Negotiable Offers (NNOs) are a negotiation strategy in business, particularly in hiring and sales, where terms are presented as fixed and not open to discussion. This approach aims to streamline decision-making, reduce back-and-forth, and signal confidence in the value proposition. It is often used to filter out candidates or clients who do not align with core requirements or budget constraints.
Developers should understand NNOs when involved in job negotiations, freelance contracts, or product sales to recognize when terms are rigid and assess fit quickly. It is useful in high-demand tech roles where companies set clear salary bands or in B2B software sales with standardized pricing. Learning this helps avoid wasted time on unproductive negotiations and aligns expectations upfront.
