Sweetheart deal

Refers to a transaction or agreement between two parties that is heavily biased in favor of one of the parties, often at the expense of the other. Sweetheart deals may involve financial arrangements that provide one party with a disproportionate amount of profit or benefit, or they may involve preferential treatment or other advantages that are not available to others. Sweetheart deals can be unethical or even illegal, and they can damage the reputation and credibility of the parties involved. In many cases, sweetheart deals are designed to circumvent established rules or regulations, or to gain an unfair advantage over competitors.

In business coaching, a sweetheart deal can refer to a business transaction or agreement that appears to benefit one party unfairly at the expense of others. For example, a coach may advise a company to avoid making a sweetheart deal with a supplier that offers unusually favorable terms or pricing, as it may indicate unethical or illegal practices. Instead, the coach may recommend negotiating fair and transparent agreements that align with the company’s values and business objectives.
