How a Deadline Clause Unlocks a Stuck Deal

from The Business Negotiation Podcast with Fexingo: Deals, Contracts, and Closing Conversations · host Fexingo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how a well-placed deadline clause can break a stalled negotiation without ultimatums. They examine the 2019 Disney–Comcast bidding war for Fox assets, where a ticking clock forced decisive action. They discuss the psychology of deadlines—how they create urgency without aggression—and practical tips for embedding them in any deal. Specific tactics include the 'drop-dead date', the 'sunset clause', and the 'conditional deadline'. The hosts also share real-world examples from film rights acquisitions and startup funding rounds. If you've ever been stuck in a negotiation that just won't close, this episode offers a concrete tool to reset the pace. #DeadlineClause #NegotiationTactics #BusinessNegotiation #DealMaking #DisneyComcast #FoxAssets #SunsetClause #DropDeadDate #ConditionalDeadline #UrgencyInNegotiation #FilmRights #StartupFunding #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DealsContractsClosing #NegotiationStrategy #ClosingTheDeal Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
