In contract negotiations, there is such a thing as the “counter offer.”

For instance, if you are a highly sought-after super(bird)model, a client who wants to book you may offer “one waffle” per photo.

You may then make a “counter offer” of 10 waffles per photo.

For visual learners, the use of a prop can also help keep negotiations moving.

"One waffle?" What do you mean, "one waffle?"
